MLA Web 2.0 Assignment Week 6

Blog about the process on your personal blog for this course and share how this concept might be used in your library.

It was fun to share my photos online with my friends and family. It is a very simple way of sharing the photos without having to print them out. Is fast and easy. This could be a great tool to use in a library as a way of promoting library events online to users and even sharing photos about the items that the library has. At the same time it can be useful to put a face to a librarian's name, since in many occasions in the library's website you see a name but you don't know what he or she looks like.

The library of Congress Flickr experiment definitely seems like a good idea because it gets the public involve in the collection and they start to find out the kind of resources and items the library has. This tool is a great way to promote libraries collections and staff. I really like the interaction that this tool gives to the user because it also helps him or her give it a personal touch when it comes to tagging it.

When I become part of a library staff this tools will be useful buy sharing photos with other staff about our events and also sharing it with our patrons so they know that libraries are fun and have great items in their collections not just books. It is also a great marketing tool to promote library outreach events.
