So much to learn! I now get the concept of photo sharing and tagging of images. I am one of the few people in the world who doesn't own a digital camera (yet) so have to borrow one to get max benefit from this exercise.
Looked up Flickr search of Mosman Library, as per suggestion; lots of events photos such as would be included on library catalogue events tag. However, by also photo sharing on Flickr or similar provider, interested searchers can qeasily find heaps of relevant and related material.
Observation: once you start you just can't stop! One link leads to so many other avenues...I love National Library's Music Australia and Picture Australia, esp. how "picture trails" will custom-create a topic into a trail. And the usefulness of images that can be downloaded for private use - excellent for kids wanting images for school projects and a great alternative to the ubiquitous Google images.
Good library holiday programme idea: photo competition/workshop for teens as in Lansing Illinois Pub. Lib.
More later, am going to feed the cat...

Welcome to the program! It does get a bit addictive. Sometimes I have trouble finding the 15 minutes and other times I have trouble sticking to the 15 minutes!
There are so many interesting Web 2.0 things to look at.
