Librarians, Shusshers, and Patrons
When I got my new job, I searched on Flickr to find photos to illustrate my celebratory blog post. And then, when I arrived, I set up a Flickr account for the library to which I’ve been adding photos and made some awesome contacts with local Flickrers. Yesterday the librarian who’s responsible for creating the book displays asked me how to store the photos she takes as a record, “so I don’t do the same thing twice.” I, naturally, practically bounced out a plea to put them on our Flickr page.
This morning, I added a Manchester City Library public group to my collection. I hope this will become a type of online programming where we can interact about and via the library and the community. Wish me luck!
The title, btw, comes from the cool Flickr feature where you can retitle the various group roles. In our group, Administrators are called Librarians, Moderators are called Shusshers, and Members are called Patrons. I thought it kinda cute and fun.
