MLA CE Week 6 – Online Photo Sharing

I completed the Discovery readings and registered for a flickr account uploading a photo. I then uploaded it to my Facebook page and then to My Web 2.0 Conspectus blog. All uploads were very straightforward and easy. I think there are a number of ways libraries could take advantage of flickr and other image sharing services. For example, creating and archiving historical collections or documenting medical procedures. I think it’s great that LC has undertaken its pilot project with flickr as another vehicle to provide access to its collections and experiment with social tagging.
