Meteor cannot access collection created in server/main.js

I defined the collection in lib/collection.js

var Tags = new Meteor.Collection("Tags");

Then trying to initialize it in server/main.js:

Tags.insert({name: tag["tag"], default_show: true});

Got error: W20141028-01:26:53.647(11)? (STDERR) ReferenceError: Tags is not defined W20141028-01:26:53.648(11)? (STDERR) at app/server/main.js:43:18

I cannot figure out why I got error here? Anyone could give me some hints?

Full source code:

server/main.js

Meteor.startup(function() {    
    var tagsJson =  JSON.parse(Assets.getText("tags.json"));
    var tagsMapJson = JSON.parse(Assets.getText("tags_map.json"));

    tagsJson["lines"].map(function(line) {
        line["tags"].map(function(tag){
            if (!Tags.findOne({name: tag["tag"]})) {
                Tags.insert({name: tag["tag"], default_show: true});
            }

            tagsMapJson[tag["tag"]].map(function(web) {
                if (!Webs.findOne({url: web["url"]})) {
                    Webs.insert({url: web["url"], name: web["name"], brief: web["brief"]});
                }

                if (!TagWebs.findOne({tag: tag["tag"], url: web["url"]})) {
                    TagWebs.insert({tag: tag["tag"], url: web["url"]});
                }
            });
        });
    });        
});

lib/collections.js

var Tags = new Meteor.Collection("Tags");
var Webs = new Meteor.Collection("Webs");
var TagWebs = new Meteor.Collection("TagWebs");

I think you should erase "var" so collection is seen to whole project
