Recently, the Library of Congress began posting some of their photos on Flickr. Their reasoning? To gain a wider audience and to harness the power of community. LOC Director of Communications Matt Raymond, on the LOC blog (Wait! The Library of Congress has a BLOG too?!), states: “We want people to tag, comment and make notes on the images, just like any other Flickr photo, which will benefit not only the community but also the collections themselves.”
Obviously, the LOC “gets it”! And not only do they blog and participate in Flickr, they have podcasts as well!
What awesome leadership! Now if only we can get more people in the education community to follow suit…
