[Web4lib] flickr

[Patricia F Anderson]

I am using Flickr in a variety of ways to support my library work.

  - answering reference questions
  - putting screenshots in blog entries and tutorials
  - communicating about needed book repairs & facilities issues
  - documenting dialogue and concepts at staff meetings
  - partnering on creating an image collection with a local museum
  - quickly sharing page images from fragile items with researchers

Please note, for using Flickr as a replacement for photocopying page, we 
are careful to observe copyright restrictions and guidelines.

Here is a presentation I did showing a few ways we are using Flickr (as 
well as other Web 2.0 tools):
