** mosiac created in big labs using my flickr pics.
What uses do these tools have for library or personal use?
i think that the slide show presentation is great for sharing presentations among staff. all too often we duplicate work and don't realize that someone has already invented the wheel. i am also involved in training, and this would be easy to use for training purposes.
the photo mosaics and slideshows would be great for young adult librarians. teens always want to see pics of themselves, and adding slideshows would generate visits to the website.
the database would be great for booklists, book clubs, bibliographies, patron lists, new arrivals, etc, etc.
Was the tool you used easy to navigate and understand?
the big labs tool was very easy to understand. i didn't use the slideshows because i do not want to post personal pics up here. i do not have a presentation to display publicly, but i can forsee this in the future. the bandwidth here at the library has really been a problem today, so i can imagine that i would not encourage patrons to use these during peak hours.
i liked that i did not have to create an account to use the big labs mosaic. i do not think i could stand to create yet another free account that i will never use again. these sites should allow you to try their product before registering.
Would you recommend it to others?
yes. i think there are many uses for these sites and i'm glad i know a brief overview of them.
Do you use other sharing tools for photos, documents, or other creations that you would recommend?
no.
