There are a lot of libraries on Flickr!
Second Life Library 2.0 has a flicker group.
Picture Australia - http://www.pictureaustralia.org/
http://www.flickr.com/groups/83633840@N00/ and http://www.flickr.com/groups/69431001@N00/
Tony Boston - National Library of Australia
They map the flickr xml elements to dublin core elements and build a catalog of pictures about Australia. They library asks to add pictures to their digital collection so they'll be archived for posterity. It gets more contemporary images of Australia into the collection.
Fiona Hooten - National Library of Australia
The service has 45 collections that illustrate Australia combining historical images from libraries and museums and now contemporary images contributed by users. It gives the collection topical images that might not otherwise be collected. People are also uploading their own historical photos, adding to collection deveopment. It has created a user community that didn't exist before.
Michael Sauers - talks about fun groups
fd's Flicker toys
librarians with big calculators
Nancy Pearl action figure traveling pix
jail finds - things prison librarians find stuck in books
librarian trading cards
library bags - a conference bag group
So naturally I had to go join a bunch of Flickr groups. And I made a Librarian trading card. My card. They are made at http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/deck.php a trading card creation site.
Now we have a 45 minute "networking opportunity. I think I'll just sit here by this outlet and see if my computer will recharge at least a little. *sigh* Nice to have wireless, it would be nicer to have power in the room!
