Bookporn.... I'm hooked! Photos are a funny thing though, people don't like them being taken of themselves, objects, family members or buildings that they look after. But we are all visual creatures and love to have a good old gander at a photo. I have been guilty in the past of just saving and using images left, right and centre from the internet, but I do tend to go for images that specify that there aren't copyright restrictions associated with them.
For public libraries or libraries with links to exhibitions and events, Flickr is not only a great archiving tool of the event, but a great tool to use to store photos for further marketing. In our library... I'm not sure how useful Flickr would be apart from to store our staff photos, and shots of the library that we take sporadically. Hmm, I will attempt joining on behalf of the library and see how easy it is to upload and share photos etc. I'll keep you posted.
