Using images

Phil Moore image

I can see the benefit of having many images all in one place. There are many very good images in the databases that can be used to brighten up presentations and notices.. It is nice that you can see many images through Flickr without having an account. I understand that many more would be available if I had an account but I do not want a Yahoo account.
Even though there is a link to the Creative Commons licence I am not sure as to how many people using Flickr would bother to use it. The copyright issue could be a big thing.

Found the Tags thing interesting and the further reading provoked me into things of many more things which involves tags.
I think to make this work then the tags need to be of a good quality so they are easily indentified. If the tagging is not right then the entry will not be found. This could mean that many interesting and important things are lost.

SlideShare Dr Thorne (Nonsuch Classics) by Anthony Trollope

I have finished reading the Barchester Chronicles with Dr Thorne being my favourite.
I hope this Slideshare presentation works as I can only see a black box!
It seems to be an interesting tool. I am not sure if and when I would use it in my library. It may be that it could be incorporated into my inductions but they are usually done on a one to one basis. I can see it would be invaluable for someone who gave alot of presentations.

Just finished Thing 8 & 9. I found these extremely useful as sometimes I need to use a good image.
Now I will know where to look.
Sometimes using a MAC makes the instructions difficult, especially as I did not have a right click mouse!!

I enjoyed looking at flickr. There are some beautiful images available on it.
The images from idlethink are so lovely. If anyone ever managed to make my library look like that, I wouldn't mind breaking a few rules!
