Subject Guides

One way to populate these subject guides would be to have repositories use the "labels" feature (tagging) when they are creating their repository description rather than create individual wiki pages.  Then users could select a label from the list (see the Labels box below when the page is in the EDIT mode) and the wiki would pull together all collection descriptions tagged with oral history.  This would automate the subject guides instead of requiring someone to create and moderate them for updates.  The following list would also serve as recommended subject headings.
