Dear Friends

Famous Libraries of the World (including LC) are choosing Flickr to
post and share Photos on web. Here is an interesting example by
British Library.

The British Library (see its Flickr Profile -
http://www.flickr.com/people/britishlibrary/ ) has a group on Flickr
for Ramayana <http://www.flickr.com/groups/706670@N20/> . Photos /
images submitted to this Flickr Group could appear in their gallery in
London and on their Library's website, under the section - Ramayana:
Love and Valour in India's Great Epic.

Isn't this is innovative thinking?

Do our libraries think in this way?

Or do we think that sites like Flickr, Orkut, Second Live etc are too
disruptive for Library Users?
