	* TagTeam works best when you use ordinary URLs rather than DOI-based URLs.		* TagTeam works best when you use ordinary URLs rather than DOI-based URLs. This is worth noting because most scholars prefer the DOI-based URL for most scholarly purposes.
	** For example, when you find article at this URL, <tt>http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=17085210&show=abstract</tt>, with this DOI-based URL, <tt>http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/02640471311312375</tt>, then for the purpose of tagging use the former, not the latter~~. This is worth noting because for most other scholarly purposes, the DOI-based URL is preferred~~.		** For example, when you find article at this URL, <tt>http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=17085210&show=abstract</tt>, with this DOI-based URL, <tt>http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/02640471311312375</tt>, then for the purpose of tagging use the former, not the latter.
	** The reason has to with TagTeam's method for preventing the creation of duplicate records. It regards two records as duplicates if and only if they use the same URL. If you visit an article at its "natural" URL, and tag it, TagTeam will then ~~contain~~ a record using that URL. If another tagger later finds the same article and wants to tag it, TagTeam will recognize the URL; it will not create a second record ~~but~~ instead show that the article has already been tagged and give the second tagger a chance to ~~amend~~ the work of the first tagger. That's good. But if the first record used the DOI-based URL, then TagTeam would not show the second tagger that the article had already been tagged. The second tagger would waste time and effort tagging it again, and TagTeam would accept the second record because it uses a different URL than the first record.		** The reason has to with TagTeam's method for preventing the creation of duplicate records.
