31 Things to do with Flickr in Libraries
A recent WebJunction article by P.F. Anderson runs down 31 different ways that libraries can make use of Flickr, the online photo-sharing website. Anderson gives some great suggestions along with a few cautionary notes to bear in mind such as copyright and licensing issues. Some of Anderson’s suggestions include:
- Create library photo-tours.
- Embed “slideshows” in blogs or web pages using SlideFlickr.com
- Start a Flickr group for your Friends of the Library.
- Show what’s on the New Book Shelf this week.
- Use a Flickr widget to create a dynamic feed of new images from your account to your library web page.
- Partner with local museums or historical society in creating an image collection on a topic of shared interest or for an event.
- Collect pictures of best practices from other educators or librarians in your area.
- Document visual brainstorming, dialogue and concepts from staff meetings.
