I presume this person wants to use the keywords to find books, as in "Hmm, I
remember reading a book about massive consumerism and a guy who thought of
using robots to get out of his duty to consume. Now which book was that?"

It's also nice to have a list of which books by your favorite author, who
may have written in several genres, you already have. One of the most
important things I take to any science fiction convention is my lists of
what books we own (travelers checks are slightly more important).

Then there are people like a friend of mine, who has a burning desire to
construct a database full of science fiction, just because it's something
he's wanted to do for a long time.
