Interesting the emphasis on Wikimedia Commons and no mention of the Internet Archive. Is that because the former is simply more familiar when we are talking about image-only collections (granted, the bulk of what is out there, and the only medium usefully addressed by flickr)? ari > On May 19,

Shelley Bernstein, the Vice Director of Digital Engagement & Technology at the Brooklyn Museum, posted some interesting thoughts on why they left Flickr entirely (even deleting their content and account) and moved over to WIkimedia Commons. Post http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/community/blogosphere/

Hi all, I'm wondering how other LAMs use Flickr with their digital collections. Does anyone use Flickr in lieu of a collections site? Does anyone upload all newly digitized collections images (and metadata) both to a collections website *and* to Flickr? I'm guessing most folks use Flickr to
