Thang #6 - Flickr: the Sequel

Okay, here it is:

KC's Presentation

splashr is kind of festive, kind of fun ... it'd be a great way to share vacation, family, pet photos with people. Our library could create an engaging photo slideshow with our Banned Book Week Readout pictures.

This was also fun!



I think it goes without saying that these mashup tools could help a library create a unique, fun online presence. The dilemma (as is the case with so many other projects) is finding the staff time to do it/maintain it :-(

Thang #5 - Flickr

Check out pictures of my happy places on , a fancy photo sharing thing.

This was a new activity for me. I had not previously uploaded pics to Flickr or any other hosting service. As I navigate through the 2.0 tutorials, I am reminded by the depth of material available on the Internet to anyone who wants to invest the time in looking ... and some people make it a full-time job! I have looked at photo sets created by libraries/agencies. Nice stuff, but not very interesting to me unless there is some descriptive information attached. I think this key step is often overlooked when photos are uploaded.

I'm not sure about the applications of Flickr right now in my library setting due to the reason mentioned above. Also, I do have concerns about patron privacy issues.

Looking forward to learning more!
