Flickr at your library

Posted in Resources at 4:05 pm by Paloma Cruz

Tame the Web has a nice post on reasons why you should use Flickr at your library:

I’ll advocate again: get a flickr account at your library! Here’s why:

For no muss no fuss image storage for the library materials processing wiki!

For an easy way to display a rotating set of images on your library home page.

To promote what your teens are doing at the library and a book sale!

To share the library’s history.

To create awareness and promote workshops of a library consortium.

To mash up with some cool toys!

To commemorate the first patron of the new bookmobile!

To promote the state library association’s conference — putting a face on the association.

To promote a way to thank our users with fortunes hidden around the library!

To share images of Staff In-Service Day with the community - that’s transperancy at work!
