Blogs  &  Flickr

Hi, Grouho here again.
Pat has been telling me about a couple of things she found out at TAFE.
I think you may be interested! 

 BLOGs
A Blog is a website that an individual or a group of users can record views, opinions, information, links and photos.  Bringing like-minded people together.
A successful Blog must be regularly updated  to keep its followers interested. 

Pat thinks blogging will become very popular for libraries in the future.
Libraries could utilize this by BLOGGING topics as.

*Genre based reading lists
*Book discussions
*CD & DVD recommendations
*Customer comments,suggestions and complaints
* Promote library activities and services



FLICKR
Flickr is a great website.
Pat found this site easy to navigate. It is easy to transfer photos from Flickr.  This is a great tool for sharing and storing images.  Images an be added as and when they are taken. 
Flickr's database structure means that every image is associated with its creator or owner first, then with any groups or sets it might have been added to, then with any free-text tags that might have been assigned to it, and finally with the electronic metadata that the camera added to the original snapshot.
