I thought the process of uploading photos into flickr and Facebook was easy. Privacy issues crossed my mind again. I was as restrictive as I could be about who could see the photos in Facebook, and I only allowed myself to see the photos in flickr. (I wonder what my digital footprint is after taking this class? I don't think that I really want to know.)
However, I think that online photosharing can be very useful for libraries. The Library of Congress project has the potential for increasing the use of its collections and adding to information about the photos. Morris Library at Southern Illinois University Carbondale has used online photosharing as a public relations tool, featuring photos of its ongoing renovation on flickr (see http://www.flickr.com/photos/issmorris/)
