This week MLA Web 2.0 class participants created an account on Flickr and shared a few of their favorite photos with their librarian colleagues on Facebook. Here are a few of my favorite photos of wild animals. Please see link: http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=16678672068&view=user . I especially like the photo of the chimpanzee with the "Jimmy Carter" smile.Photo sharing can have many applications in a library setting. For example, if a public library were to have a photography contest as an activity for Adult Services and/or for children, online photo sharing is a useful tool for creating a gallery of the contestants' photographs.Academic and special libraries can find some creative applications for using online photo sharing tools. For example in academic libraries, students using their college libraries would probably enjoy sharing project-related photos with classmates, their professors and perhaps even their librarians via flickr and facebook. Academic libraries have already been facilitating these initiatives via the library home page.
