I think Flickr is a great way to back up photos without taking up a lot of disk space. Also, what easier way to share them with others.
The technology definitely has potential for libraries. I liked the way Mosman Library had taken photos of special events such as Library Lovers' Day, a Taronga Zoo visit and author talks. This is a fantastic way of letting the community see for themselves the range of services and activities the library has to offer.
I also thought Mosman Library had done well to set up a photo archive of items of local historical interest. This is such a convenient and easy way for local historians to search for old photos of whatever they are researching, if it is available at the library.
With regard to Creative Commons, it is a very useful tool for people or organisations who want to share content with the wider world, and to give other people access to use it, under conditions that the organisation can choose from the range of options provided.
I hope you enjoy this picture of penguins in antarctica!
Ciao for now!

Mosman's use of Flickr is good - great for promoting the library and its services and activities. I'm glad you're enjoying Learning 2.0.
Hope the goldfish are behaving themselves?
