Digital cameras have made it much easier for us to take lots and lots of photos! But many of us are bad at remembering to download them to a computer or share them with friends. New photo sharing sites make it easier to do both.
Here's a video on Online Photo Sharing in Plain English:
Flickr is the most popular of the photo sharing sites. As you can see, Flickr gives you a way to back up your photos, organize them, and share them.
This week's TechPlay Exercise:
1. Go to http://www.flickr.com and search "LaGrange Library" Try it both with and without a space in the city name. Can you find our Flickr photos?
2. See how various libraries are using Flickr by checking out some of our neighbors:
- Brookfield Public Library has some Flickr photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/36819620@N00/.
- See Thomas Ford's recent remodel at http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasfordmemoriallibrary/.
- La Grange Park has put some photos on Flickr, then put them on their website at http://www.lplibrary.org/about/photos.php.
- And from further afield, here's a whole group of libraries and librarians using Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/librariesandlibrarians/.
4. Post to your blog about today's exercise. Any suggestions for photos we should put on our Flickr account? Do you have digital photos of the library that you'd like to share?
