Week 6: Online Photo Sharing






Who doesn't like to see pictures? I think most of us enjoy being able to see pictures of people, places, and things. I'm even one of those crazy folks who looks forward to seeing someone's vacation photos. Slideshow? Be right there!!

However, I'd never put my pictures on a web site before, so this was another new experience... with another learning curve! But after a few boo-boos, I've finally got the hang of it!

How can photo sharing be used in our library?
A few things come to mind; none are new ideas... I fully admit to pilfering.
  • Showcase your library with pictures of special displays or areas
  • Create a visual tour
  • Post picures of staff functions in a "staff only" accessible site
  • Archive library events
  • Use for orientation
  • Post staff pictures
I know there are lots more creative ideas for photo sharing. I'll have to read a few library blogs to find some!
