Libraries using Flickr

Of the libraries I read about in the most recent issue of American Libraries (September 2007, p. 42) I was most impressed with The Clemens and Alcuin libraries. I love the "On This Day in American History" Theme, and the best part is that when you click on one of the books in one of their photos it links to the current availability of the book in the library catalog - the is a very cool, practical application. I also enjoyed looking at the Pierce County Library System, which posts one picture each day for the 365 days of the year. Again - I think this is a cool theme and I could see doing something like this in my library. What a great way to allow people to see what's going on in your library.
