Thing #8



This image may not be that interesting from a composition standpoint since it is just a screenshot, but I think Flickr is a great way to record a library's marketing on their website. It looks like this isn't from a library's site but instead references something happening at a library. Having a collection of your marketing would be good to show to other libraries. Or you could document the good (and bad too if you want) press your library receives. Or if you are routinely responsible for marketing at your library, this might be an option for showcasing your work to future employers if you are job seeking.

Also, preserving the library's website's different components and content over time is an interesting way to use Flickr. If you are going to document your library with a Flickr account it makes sense to include screenshots of your online presence since that is how some of our users probably know us the best!

And here's my cat, Aja. I've added her to the Flickr group Pets of Nebraska Librarians
