Thing 6: Flickr Fun, Mash-ups, & 3rd Party Sites

I created this trading card using FD Toys’ Trading Card Maker, a 3rd party flicker app. It took only a few simple steps, and now my trading card is posted on Flickr as well as on my blog. I used a photo that we took 6 years ago while visiting family in Oregon. The Columbia River Gorge is one of the most beautiful places on earth--I spent many happy hours hiking its trails and marveling at its waterfalls as a child and teenager.

Thing 5: Exploring Flickr

In library school, we went on reference assignment "treasure hunts" using card catalogs like this one. Back then, who could have conceived of Library 2.0? (Maybe a handful of academicians at MIT--or Al Gore.) What will Library 3.0 hold in store for us? Whatever it is, we'd better get ready!


This photo popped up on Flickr when I entered the search term "Multnomah County Library, Oregon", the main library branch in downtown Portland.
