My husband and I use Picasa to store all our family photos and we send links to family and friends to view albums as we create them. It was a great way to share photos of our trip to California (Disneyland), school musical and joys of having new kitten with friends and family. We always look forward to their comments as well and its a wonderful tool for keeping in touch. We do not share with the on-line community, since virtually all our photos are off our daughter and her experiences. At one time, we did have our photos shared on Picasa, until we followed one commentor, whose comments on other people’s photos were disturbing. We have asked friends and family to create Google accounts, so they can view our photos and feel safe.
On a professional level, I take many pictures of the library, library activities and events, but they just sit on the camera. I can see that by downloading these to Flickr, I could easily use them in a library blog/website for the library and keep the school community current in library happenings.
I have used Flickr as a browsing tool, for ideas for library signage and library displays. I will try to add my own tags to photos of the library and share with other libraries.
