Thing 6. Online Image Generator


I wanted to name this one Flickr cubed, but couldn't get the 3 to display properly. I don't have much else to add to this blog post. These tools can also be used in various ways to promote the library, for displays, or other items. Here is a trading card of my hound, Duke. I am just posting one image since I don't want to over burden readers with too many images of greyhounds.

Thing 5. More Flickr Fun!


The Flickr mashup tools are a lot of fun indeed! There is a lot of potential here for promotional items or other graphics for display in your library. For this exercise I did a mashup for the tag greyhounds with the tools on Big Huge Labs. I tried to get all hounds but a bus did sneak in. Enjoy!

Images in the mosaic are from the following photographers: wagongrrl, myuncannyvalley, saramurphy100, Susan McKeon, forestedge, ghostparks, and greywalkerov.

Thing 4. Flickr


I was going to take a photo of something in my library for this exercise, but since I keep forgetting to bring my camera to work I will blog about option A. It was interesting using the tags in Flickr. When first started to explore Flickr I searched for images from the MN 150 (Minnesota Sesquicentennial) celebrations that were held earlier this year. This is an image of the wagon train that was part of the MN 150 celebrations by micwalker84. When I get time I will need to upload my images of the wagon train going down Summit Avenue
