I have found photo sharing tools such as Flickr, Shutterbug, and Google’s Picaso to be very useful in personal and professional lives. Personally, I have used Shutterbug to store and share images from my family reunions. This has allowed family members who have taken pictures at the reunion to upload their photos in a central account. My library recently purchased a Flickr account. We are planning to use this account to share selected pictures of library-sponsored events with our users, to share selected images from our special collections and archives with our users, to show progress with renovation projects, and to pictures of our library building.
