Flickr

Week 3- Photos and Images
Explore Flickr
This photo sharing site allows users to upload and share photos, users also have the option to add tags, add notes, create a favorites list, and tag people in your photos. This is a great program for librarians to use to promote the library, Flickr could be used to show the staff, pictures of the departments, or share images of library events. I also found a really interesting section on Flickr called the commons, a program that allows for easier access to publically held photography collections. This is a great way for libraries to gain access to collections from many different institutions such as NASA, The Library of Congress, and The Smithsonian.
