Thing 5. Flickr--Some Thoughts

I could use Flickr in our library as an alternate sight for posting library event photos. We now store events photos on a separate drive that only our library has access to. With Flickr we could advertise and promote events far beyond our library's borders. It could be a cheaper alternative to taking up space on a computer drive. I could arrange the privacy settings accordingly so that certain photos could be shown to certain people or the public at large. It would be another promotional/PR tool for the UNF Library.

In conclusion, Flickr is an amazing photo tool. Editing is way easier than trying to edit something in Photo Shop. However, one has to be careful about public posting of photos, especially when other people are in the photo. Always ask permission before posting photos of others on Flickr. Always ask permission and give credit to photos taken by others before posting on your Flickr site.
