Module 5
Daisies from FLICKR!
This is such a neat tool in the technological world. I like the fact that it is extremely organized and user friendly once you get the hang of it.
Now as far as using this in a library setting.....oh yes! I always took photos of the programs I had presented in my library.Patrons need to see a visual of what is going on in the library. It enables to patrons of the library and others to see and get a good sense of how much fun we have with all our books!
Just as with everything else, there kinks (rules and regulations) to work out for this day and age. I agree with what was said in Michael Stephen's article about privacy laws. They need to be updated because their is so much user input in today's world. Posting pictures of people is scarey. Ya want to show and wonderfulness of the opportunities using FLICKR, but at the same time there are always those who can take a wonderful thing and turn it into something not so wonderful. Sad but true. Laws need to be adjusted to a happy meeting...to expose the goodness but also protect everyone!
This is a great tool for patrons to enhance their projects.
I'm not totally comfortable with putting my personal pictures on FLICKR. Generic type photos such as plants and animals, I have no problem with. Something with others having access to the personal me does set happily with me. I'd be afraid of someone using it to promote or better themselves or god forbid identity theft.
