More Flickr-ing

I now have a Flickr Flash badge and "Norton Knows" in Flickr letters. Very cool, and fun. One could easily spend as much time looking for letters as one spent looking for avatar clothing!

I had an idea about using a Flickr badge on some of our Minnesota History Topics to show the images from our Photo and Art Database that relate to a specific topic. That brought up a discussion (which hasn't been decided yet) about whether we want our images out there in "unprotected" webspace. I think there ought to be a way to make it work, we just need to find it.

I also would like to see us doing something similar to St. John's/St. Ben's, going from a Flickr account showing covers of new books in the library directly into the MnPALS catalog record for the book. Now that ought to be real do-able.
