Please excuse me a moment of self indulgence, MRRL’s twitter account got a shout out in a recent Library School Journal article about libraries using Twitter. Since the flickr account and the blog are a labor of love on my part I’m so happy when I see that they are getting some love from someone else. We’ve got the twitter account set up to show the RSS from the blog and flickr, pretty freaking sweet!

Teaching Patrons about Flickr
The first Online Picture Sharing class was last week and the second is this week, we only have 15 laptops for the patrons to use so we have to have multiple sessions. I choose to focus on Flickr vs one of the many other online picture sharing sites inpart because MRRL has a Flickr account and because of the Social aspects of Flickr.

I’ve started working on the next set of classes, one of them being Online Safety, this is a hard one for me because it’s important to me to teach people to be safe without making them feel like the internet is full of dangers. Any suggestions?

I have so many things I want to implement where to start, will we have the staff, the time and the resources? Two things are on the top of my list and are already moving ahead First is our Flickr account. I was able to get approval for a pro account just before I left for IL2007. In the next two weeks I’ll get pictures from the major events in 2006 and 2007 up. Then I’m hoping to have event pictures up within a week of the event. We have a lot of successful programs and we’re taken pictures, we need to get them out there where our patrons can see them! Second is our library blog, I’ll be posting regularly about library news and events. I’m hoping some of the other staff will be interested in posting too.
