Just another communication outlet: Using flickr to share photos with your users

Do you take pictures of your library and/or library staff? Do you take pictures of your library's events? Well, how do you share them with your users or potential users?

I say consider using flickr (flickr.com)! flickr is an online photo sharing application that allows you to upload your pics and add descriptions and tags/keywords. You can set the access level to your liking. flickr also interfaces with Facebook and I'm sure can work with other Web 2.0 tools you are using.

It is just another tool that can connect your users with your library and the work that you do. We know that pictures speak louder than words...kinda. Think of it as another way to promote resources, services, and your staff with your users...by going where they are!
