Flickr

I like "minerva's musings" as it has great photos and I really like "Librarians the ultimate search engines" which is funny and true.

I also like "rare or underdone" because it looks very professional and the pictures enhance the blog.

Flickr is good fun but I had trouble setting up a Flickr account but it was worth it and I got some really good pictures for Energy and Teamwork, one of our values and Sherlock Holmes of course. Well this blog is booksgonemissing and like Sherlock Holmes I go in search of missing books and I am on the case even as we speak!

I was impressed with the photos in Flickr taken by State Library staff. Its amazing how the Mitchell Library looks at different angles and my favourites are the ones of the Matthew Flinders statue and they came out better than when I tried to take a photo of him a couple of years ago!

I am interested in the idea of using a blog to alert people to books gone missing. What sort of standard information would you include on the blog eg. if the audience is SLNSW staff only then would you link to our policy on using items; forms for requesting items; the library catalogue etc.?

I'm assuming that you would also be hoping for a quick response from staff ... you might consider an RSS feed or perhaps using feedburner to create one that people could set to drop into their email automatically as a reminder...

I don't really know the answers ... just thinking out loud!
