• How might you use Flickr in your library or media center?

Documentation of library events.

• Do you use Flickr or another photo hosting service? Which one? How does it compare to Flickr?

I used Flickr; Picasa doesn't have a Mac version of the download sw.

• How do you feel about having your photos public (note that you can mark your Flickr photos private, too)--any concerns?

It doesn't bother me. I don't ever put personal stuff on the web without being able restrict access to it.

• Consider how you can use these tools in your library or media center.

People are always more interested in pictures than text, hence the power of television. Use these kinds of tools to inspire and grab interest about the library and reading.

T5 mashup

mashups
A mashup, for the unfamiliar, is a hybrid web application that uses data from an outside source to drive a web service. Mashups can be created using data culled from RSS feeds, public databases, or any open data source.

• How can you use any of these tools in your library and media center? Reading programs, posters promoting library events, librarian trading cards all come to mind as possibilities.

You could have a contest to see who can do the best mashup of a picture of your library.

• What do you think of sharing photos online?

- I don't know where people find the time to do all this stuff. It's fun, but reading a book is more fun and interesting.

T4 and its Links

How might you use Flickr in your library or media center? Store
How might you use Flickr in your library or media center?
- Storage of library photos. Many libraries don't have, nor can they afford, their own server, which means they cannot back up photos. Flickr is an easy way to back up and store photos.
Do you use Flickr or another photo hosting service? Which one? How does it compare to Flickr? I tried both Flickr and Picasa and the latter is what I prefer. It's tied in automatically to my blog, I don't have to put my photos on their server, and it's easier to find them.
How do you feel about having your photos public (note that you can mark your Flickr photos private, too)--any concerns?
- I don't like private info or property to be public.
