Flickr pool of zines in libraries

#6 - Flickr Mashups

I think there are a lot of fun tools out there to play with. I really liked the Spell with Flickr tool. How fun! In case you couldn't tell, I made both the images that accompany this Thing's post (at the LPLS Learning site). But, for the sake of fun, here's a new image I made using the Warholizer and an image of my kiddo:


I'm curious to hear whether anyone else thinks we should be using Flickr for library photos / promotion, and if so, how...

#5 - Flickr and other photos

This is a picture from the LPLS / Artsy Mamas zine workshop we hosted last month. I think it's really interesting to look at the original pages we created for the zine. I hadn't used Flickr before this program, so I was glad to get the experience and see how it works. I think Flickr is pretty neat because of how searchable it is and how it uses tags.

For my personal photos, though, I prefer to use Google's Picasa Web Album. I use Picasa on my home computer to manage and edit photos, and it's really easy to upload to the site using the program. I regularly post photos of my son, so our out-of-town relatives and friends can see how he's growing. Here's my online album. Tonight I'm going to upload some photos I took on my weekend trip to New Mexico, including the totally awesome library I visited.
