Excellent example of what you can do with an image database these days! 
  I especially like the 'embed' tags that people can copy out and put on 
their own sites.

This is a great example of where librarians weren't necessarily in the 
forefront -- cough Flickr, YouTube, cough -- but where they were 
nonetheless able to grab the ideas and put them to library use.

Talk about innovation...
