Week Five

Okay, I think I have once again missed the point. Flickr obviously has huge potential for family and friends to share photos and depending on your willingness to share your personal photos with the world, Flickr also has networking potential. But I do not see a direct connection to improving library service. I agree that photos and video of library programs posted to the library websites would enhance our connection to community and serve to promote programming. With that said, if Flickr can help to format photos used on public websites, blogs, myspace etc. than I suppose it could be useful for libraries.



Photos I found on Flickr *... http://www.flickr.com/photos/tropicaliving/2282891165 (there is an image in Precious Bane by Mary Webb of dragonflies emerging from the water, "most wonderful")
