Flickr and other photo sharing tools such as Picasa and Snapfish I was first introduced also as a "fun," thing for personal use. The first training I every went to that discussed photo sharing to be used professionally was a little surprising. How much time was going to be spent making these albums look professional? Other than big events what pictures would I be uploading. Whether you use Flickr or Picasa there is not much difference. I use Flickr now more because it has become more popular. People talk about having it up on "Flickr." "Flickr," was used this past year as a powerful tool for Library Advocacy. "Florida Snapshot Day!" compiled by the Florida Library Association gathered together a portrait of Florida libraries that lawmakers could see as the voters in their districts and it spoke volumes.
Most recently I used Flickr to capture our Information Literacy event "Techmania." Staff, Volunteers, and Vendors gathered for classes on social networking and library services.
