Re: [CODE4LIB] OAI = Flickr import tool
Thanks! And good catch. We adjusted the licenses indicated on Flickr to match the actual rights on the images. We set our rights at the collection level so Flickr's batch edit made this a quick change. FWIW the PS Magazine and Jackson Ward sets are public domain, but Flickr's options limited us to the least restrictive CC license. -- Erin White Web Applications Developer, VCU Libraries 804-827-3552 | erwh...@vcu.edu | http://library.vcu.edu/ From: Ranti Junus ranti.ju...@gmail.com To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Date: 08/20/2011 12:20 PM Subject:Re: [CODE4LIB] OAI = Flickr import tool Sent by:Code for Libraries CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Hi Erin, Awesome project. I'm curious: what is the license of the images posted to flickr? Are they have the same license (per flickr account default set -- whatever it is) or are there license variations among the images?
