Introduction-- Scribd.com bills itself as a "public library" website. Any user can upload documents and describe them with a sequence of brief terms or 'tags'. The document can then be located by searching the scribd.com website for those descriptive terms in any combination. Documents published on scribd.com can be made private and designated for a certain core group of users, but this makes the search function less useful and requires more time spent preparing the document for upload, both of which points make it unsuitable for our purposes.
