Thing 4. Photosharing with Flickr

I had started a fliker account about two years ago and used it a lot for library and family photo sharing. I stop using it as I started a blog for the library and used photos from Photoshop that was loaded on my desktop. It seemed more convenient to use but we now have a new Children's Librarian and she will be uploading photos to the Fliker account for all to share.

I feel this is a great tool for all to use and is easy to understand. The uses are wide and varied according to the library needs. We are fortunate to have a digital comera at our disposal and it get used a lot for all of our programs and I try and place on the blog the same day pictures of the events and them do a poster for the library patrons to see. I also let the local paper know about the programs and send pictures over to them.
