I checked out the video on Flicker; which pretty much said it all.
The sound flickered all the way through; but I get the picture.
It's about sharing photos, preservation (though when some unknown person somewhere can pull the plug at any time, I don't really buy into that one).
It's all good if you think about the thing in the moment and don't worry too much about tomorrow. But that's not what we do in Libraries and especially not in the Mitchell Library. We think about people in the future and people in the past. It's what they call HERITAGE.
Checked out Flicker for the State Library photos. Don't they like that Mitchell Library Facade!!! Well we all do but it took me heaps of photos to get inside and look at the really cool stuff. How like life!!!

NLA have used Flickr as a mechanism to encourage people to contribute photos to Picture Australia. Wouldn't it be great if we could do that for significant events eg. Sydney Harbour Bridge anniversary; Queen Mary & QEII visit; World Youth Day?
