Thing 5-Flickr-ing thought ...or not






How might I use Flickr in the library or media center?

Well, promoting programs that are coming up, community involvement or creating a past events album might be great. Just not sure if this is allowed. I like how the Clemns and Alcuin libraries displayed their edible bookfest. Doing the best I can in the timeframe. But, this is time consuming for me as a newcomer. The Lee Lefever video "Online Photosharing in Plain English" was once again superb. However, it's 'the more I do it, the better I'll be." Thanks to AAF for taking a better shot of the bee that kept buzzing, not to mention after pulling my hair, sighing, trying to do some flickring...the hero prevails, with his mighty knowledge of 'how to'.
Do I use Flickr or another photo hosting service?
I have an account with YaHoo, but I guess I don't need to use it. Since this is pertaining to work, I'm not sure if this is a violation of our computer contract. I'm trying to do my job...what are the guidelines?
How do I feel about having my photos public...well I'm not sure yet. We had some photos of an event that I thought would be great on the blog, but after checking with one of our staff members...it would have been a mistake on many levels...so there's concern regarding what can be public.
