I've proposed a separation of these tags as "glam" is used for "glam rock" topics, while GLAM is a acronym for Gardens, Libraries, Archives and Museums of cultural organisations (e.g., https://www.glam.ox.ac.uk/home) and has been used as a tag identifying works about that topic, e.g., The Museum Experience Revisited.
That said, I notice some use of the all-caps tag for the music genre, and the lower-case tag for the museums, etc., so it is a bit muddy and perhaps it can't be disentangled 🤷🏻♂️

I think some of the the books that are tagged both GLAM and museums are because it stands for Galleries Libraries Archives and Museums.

>3 lilithcat: Ah, ok. The tag page does show that glam and GLAM are combined, and it has been possible for me to suggest the two be separated (which I'm now doubting is appropriate), which had suggested to me that the two forms were distinguishable from each other.

Even if we 'knew' that people had been consistent in using upper and lower case, they couldn't be separated. There are many tags that are used for multiple meanings and can't be divided up. 'Roman' comes to mind - should not be combined with novel or with anything about the Italian city. In fact, almost anything involving abbreviations.
