I have been taking a look at flickr despite the fact that I still haven't fully mastered our latest digital camera. One of the things I noticed in flickr when searching for SLNSW images was the sequence in which the images appeared differed according to the tags or keywords used to search. It was fun searching for other images. Above are some of the images of SLNSW which I have also put on flickr.
Looking at the SLNSW images I think flickr will be a huge repository in the future. The images range from the very general to some very specific images. I think some of it's relevance will be in the future when it will provide a large scale social and pictorial commentary on not just the library but many other facets of life.
In it's current context flickr could also be used to acquire information historical and otherwise on pictorial and other items in our collection where current information could be sketchy.
