So silly..but to answer the question here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/travelinlibrarian/127926807 I did this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/sets/72057594106175809/
Via LibraryGarden: As a librarian and professor, I joined Facebook last year when I found out that the students in my public speaking class were communicating with each other via that tool, instead of our university’s email system. It was amazing how much more open and willing the students were to sharing information about each other and their individual and group projects in our class, via Facebook. They were thrilled that I was willing to join Facebook, and they loved that I used it to find out and celebrate their birthdays, for instance, as they came up during the semester. […]
While Jessamyn and Greg were making cookies and flickr-izing the recipe, the New Jersey library association was getting active on flickr. I was added as a contact. 🙂 New Jersey Library Association (Put up some pictures folks!) Through NJ, I found: Arkansas State Library (Check out Jack’s Retirement Party!) I’d like to see many more library associations jump into the Flickr pool.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/readposters/pool/ Jessamyn turned me on to the project here. And AL used her image in their mailing! This is most cool… I hope a lot of librarians click through and make their own poster! And what a great thing to put on the library blog — giving the library a human face!
Just some links… Courtesy Please! Library Fortune Cookie Project Do You IM?

Wouldn’t that be a great dissertation? Anyway: Don’t miss making your own Simpsons likeness to staff the SPL! Thanks to two Micahels: Sauers for turning me on to the Simpsonmaker and Casey for starting the POOL.
In class on Sunday, we were discussing what we liked about different library Web sites to pave the way for my students designing their own small library-related Web site. We happened upon Oak Park Public Library’s Teen Page, which featured “Battle of the Bands.” It was nice synchronicity because I had just shown them slides of “Rock the Shelves” at flickr. ( I love turning the students on to flickr and we’ll do more at our next weekend.) Oak Park shares photos on their own page while “Rock the Shelves” was thrown into the great pool. I think both are […]
A few days ago I wrote about libraries getting flickr accouints. Need some proof to sell the expenditure to your director? How’s this for putting your library out there: Murder by the Book A Reminder from the College Dining Room: Historical Document Library Storytime Van Gaming Exhibition Library Holiday Ornament Author Signing “Dare to Read” Library Book Displays Promoting and Sharing a Conference/Workshop* Showing folks the building! Harry Potter Day! *And all you library organizations and companies out there — same goes for you too! Think of the promotional opportunities! Grab an account and get some pictures in the pool!
