Thing 21: Flicker tools

There seem to be some great advantages for libraries using Flicker tools, like showing images on websites of new collections or remodeling changes especially when they combine new services for patrons. The public has become accustomed to having images which convey information rather than just text on a website. Flicker seems like a good way to accomplish this without many of the technical difficulties found in older applications.

I especially like Blurb because it would make a great workshop for teens who have wonderful personal images and/or poetry which they might like to combine in a book. The pricing seems very reasonable too! Imagekind might be a great way for libraries to show patron or staff artwork using high quality reproduction.
