This is a picture of beautiful Hanauma Bay on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i. My father grew up here and he used to swim in this bay everyday......yet somehow I was raised in Barstow.
I really like Flickr, it's pretty interesting. It is a little strange scrolling through the pictures and seeing random faces. I feel like I'm looking through a stranger's vacation album and I'm not supposed to. I do really like the creative commons link provided by Lib 2.0 but I wish it would be easier to find through the homepage. Sarah Troy had to help me find it. It helps when trying to figure out if you can post a picture or not. By the way I must give credit to christopherdale for taking this gorgeous picture.
I'm having some trouble thinking of good uses for libraries.... and that makes me feel lame. However, if I was a sociology major doing a research paper on Hurricane Katrina, I could find pictures and legally use them in my paper right?
Also I'm a little confused.... should I be thinking of library use of Flickr as a photo database alone or as an aid to a library blog?
hmmmm...
