Pictures!

We've recently set up a Flickr account where we plan to put lots of pictures of our wonderful library. Anyone can look at our photo collection by pointing their browser to:

http://flickr.com/photos/7860273@N05/

By putting our pictures on Flickr we are not only able to share them with all of you, we can also pull them onto our own website in fun and interesting ways.

To see an example, take a look at the Photo Gallery on the Events page of our website.

I set this gallery up using a PictoBrowser. Anyone with public images on Flickr can get a PictoBrowser by providing a bit of account information and specifying which pictures to include. The PictoBrowser tool will generate a bit of code that you can insert into the source code for your blog or for most other web pages. So if you didn't feel like browsing away from this page, here's that same PictoBrowser:


If you're not into code, that's cool, too. Just enjoy the pictures.

In the future, we'll be adding more, and we'll also be looking for ways to incorporate your images, maybe by creating some Flickr groups.

More to come…
