Thing #6: Image (Trading Card)

I still haven't figured out how to alter a previous post, so this is Thing #6, Part 2, Trading Card.

I love the Carleton College trading cards...what a clever way to (super) humanize yourself while touting your specialties. Many applicable ideas here for enhancing my brown-bag-seminar to employees.

I need more photos in my Flickr account. Anyone who has followed this blog is sick to death of me with the cake! Sorry!!

Thing 5: More Flickr Fun

I hope this is considered a mash-up. I'm certainly getting a lot of mileage from that darned picture! I used Big Huge Labs to create the magazine cover. This would be a good application for the Library. I can imagine the design of creative covers to advertise online and print subscriptions. And how great it would be to produce my own posters.

I'm looking forward to our Library 2.0/23Things info-sharing meeting on Wed. night at Donaldson Co. It's the pits to be a solo librarian - and, dare I say - over the age of 55, without younger, computer-savvy co-workers with whom to share these assignments. Those of you in that situation are VERY lucky. Hug your staff members now!

Thing #4: Flickr

I explored Flickr, searched by keyword (tags), watched the video, and set up a Flickr account. I had the photo from my 20th anniversary saved on my computer already, so it was easy to retrieve and save to Flickr and really easy to add to this entry.

I like the searchability of Flickr for photos of all types. My favorite tag was "library cats" and I'll use one of those photos in a future blog entry. The "add a note" application with mousing-over for details, like book titles, gives me lots of ideas.

One thing I haven't figured out in Flickr is how to add one more tag to a picture that I previously loaded and tagged. I hope to find that answer as I do Thing 5.
