Filed under: Photo Sharing
Blog about the process on your personal blog for this course and share how this concept might be used in your library.
I was already very familiar with online photo sharing and had already set up both Flickr and Photobucket accounts. (I also have a Snapfish account.) I think it is neat how Photobucket allows you to share photos directly with Facebook, but was disappointed to see it didn’t do the same with WordPress. That is the problem I see with so many online photo sharing sites– sometimes they aren’t compatible with other Web 2.0 services. That’s why I have so many different accounts. I wanted to share photos on a social networking site, which is only compatible with Flickr.
I’m not sure how useful this would be for our library, as we don’t have a digital images collection. However, it could possibly be used for a library promotion contest. (Take a cool picture of yourself using the library, upload it to Flickr, and win a prize if it’s the best.) I can also see using it to take pictures of new books, so people can see what they look like and what we have, even if they are not in the library.
