Slideshow feature of Flickr was great. The Clemens and Alcuin libraries dislay to highlight books in their collections is something our library could do. Currently, we put together collections and display them in various sections of the library. I like the idea of the virutal collection because onse the collection created, it could be permanent and could be displayed regularly - meaning annually if it focused on a annual theme. The one thing I like better about the actualy physical display is that students can just pick up a book in a display and check it out immediately. Both have advantages. The Flickr virutal display has the advantaged of being seen by many more people because of its virtual access which may draw more students into the library.
Option A
I was most surprised by the Make Stuff feature of Flickr. I will need some time to explore how to use it in our library.
In using the tags and exploring Flickr I discovered amazing graphic images in addition to the standard digital pics that folks post to share with friends and family. I had not realized that Flickr is used by amateur and professional digital artists and graphic designers to display their work. I was amazed at what I found. I'll be hanging around Flickr for weeks to come.
I discovered that you can post an image and then others can add comments in the form of pop-up tags to various sections of the image. Look at this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulobrandao/2740345393/ Run you cursor over the images. That means the one posting the image must be able to do the same thing to his/her own images, which allows for detailed explanation for what the viewer is seeing.
Love it.
