 Good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, Krista Porter, here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the commission's weekly online event. We are a webinar, a webcast, an online show, whatever you want to call it. The terminology is up for debate in some areas, but whatever you want to call us, we are here live online every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time. We do record the shows every week, however, so if you can't join us on Wednesdays, that's fine. Just check into our website for our recordings, and I'll show you at the end of today's show where all of those recordings are, where upcoming shows are listed. Both the live show and the recordings are free and open to anyone to watch, so please do go ahead and share our website and our sessions with any of your colleagues, friends, neighbors, family, anybody whom you think might be interested in any of the topics we have on the show. We do a mixture of things here on Encompass Live, book reviews, interviews, many training sessions, demos of new services and products. Our only criteria is that it is something library related. All types of libraries, public, academic, special, anything out there, some of our topics might seem a little off the beaten path or out of the box here, and you might wonder what's up with that topic, but trust us, it'll always come around to libraries in the end. It's either something libraries are actually doing, something they may be of interest to libraries, services and programs available to them. That is really our only focus here. We do sometimes have presenters who are the Nebraska Library Commission staff about things we're doing here in Nebraska, but we do bring in guest speakers, and that's what we have this morning. On the line with us is Corey Seaman. Good morning, Corey. Good morning. Good morning. Wait. He's a director at the library at the University of Michigan. At the business school. The business school, specifically, yes. Wow. Yeah, many universities have many different libraries, so you do have to specify yes. Corey has a great presentation here. I know many people are doing things with digital image collections and online ways of just sharing all these pictures or any documents or things they have online, and there's lots of things you can pay for, but there are some easy, free or low cost ways you can do this as well, and Corey is going to show us how you can do this using Flickr, which many of us has possibly used over the years. I know I do. I'm still using it. So I'll just hand over to you, Corey, to take it away and tell us all about it. Okay, thanks. Let me know. I'm trying to run two screens here, so let me know if it comes off. Something is weird, but hopefully you're seeing a presentation. Yes. The slides are available at this URL. tinyurl.com CS Flickr 2017. So if you want to look at some of the links that we explore this morning or get my contact information, it's all available. What I want to do is actually just hopefully move through this. So insofar as an overview, I'm going to talk a little bit about Flickr first. What are the benefits, and I love alliteration, so I came up with the seven Fs. Everything about your images, your rights, these are very important issues, libraries that are on Flickr and additional resources and readings. I'm not really going to read anything to you, but I just want to make things available that you'll be able to look at afterwards. And because it is my brother's birthday, I thought I'd share a picture of us in about many, many years ago in 1968. I'm the little one. My older brother is there, and he is 55 today. Happy birthday to him then. So just about Flickr. Flickr is an easy URL, flikr.com, not to be confused with the common Flickr, the bird, which has an E in it. It's still a subsidiary of Yahoo, and Yahoo has been shopped around as have Flickr. So I bring that up just because we're living in a world of great consolidation. While it's very easy to say, I'm never going to fly in United Airlines again, especially after the week they've had, it's really hard not to because there's really fewer and fewer airline choices in the market. The same is true in our digital service providers. Flickr was an independent company founded in 2004 that was almost immediately purchased by Yahoo, and it's historically been designed for photographers to help build a community of photographers. There are a lot of other options out there, but this is the one that I'm very passionate about, and I think one that serves our service as well. We all know the other resources that are out there, Instagram, PhotoBucket, Shutterfly, Imgur, Smugbug, Picasso, which is now part of Google Photos, it's a constantly changing environment, and so as we're looking at things, this is something to keep in mind. Instagram is hugely popular, especially among younger members of the community. So what's going to be popular in five or ten years, no one really knows. So one of the things that I really like is that you can actually set up and build collections in all areas, and so what I've done here, you can see some event photos that we've had. I'm very big into donuts, so you can see in the middle of that's a punchy day. It's a big Detroit, Michigan holiday, it's Fat Tuesday, and we all celebrate with very, very heavy donuts, and so that's what seven dozen donuts look like. We've done food drives, that's our staff, when we did a volunteer project with some people from ProQuest, and that was the construction or the renovation of our building, and you can see some of the excess being sort of wiped out. One of the things that you can also do is you can use it for collections. There's some personal and interesting things here. The Helmet, the Michigan Helmet is from the Gerald Ford News Library on North Campus. There's exhibits down in the lower left-hand corner. My mother actually is on the picture on the boardwalk with her older sister, and this is actually a passport from my aunt Irma who left Germany in 1938, so she was living in a town just above, I guess, the Rhine, but just above Switzerland, and she got out in 1938. My great-grandmother got out in 1940 just before, and we saw the passports that came out in the 30s where there was no Nazi stamp there, so they didn't go sent off to the Holocaust Centers, as Sean Spicer would have articulated. Insofar as creating digital images, it's way easier now. We can do it. Everyone's phone is a great camera, especially if you have an iPhone, I don't. Very affordable low-cost flatbed scanners. There's some great services like a legacy box, which I've used to scan movies and photos. A lot of people have slides, and those are. They have great services for that, and it's a great way to collaborate with local community organizations and volunteers, especially historical societies, where they do have a wealth of images. Insofar as getting started on Flickr, it's super easy right now. All you need is a Yahoo account. That's literally all you need. You can sign up for Flickr when you have that. You're using your Yahoo account to log in. You don't need a Pro account. Right now, the base is actually one terabyte of storage, which is more than anyone probably will ever use, unless you like taking pictures of squirrels like I do. This may change, and I say it actually definitely will change, just because of the environment. Nothing is certain, even with the vendors that we deal with in the library community. There's a link to my Flickr page, and I can show you that in a little bit. Here are the 7Fs, and these are the key benefits. Flexibility, findability, figures, functionality, friends, forever and free. That's my old dog. We had to put him down earlier, but he actually was just a sweetheart. Because of tagging, he has shown up in Snopes. He's shown up on News Alerts. He's been all over, and we'll talk about that in a little bit. I want to go through the functions right now. I want to go through these 7 aspects and benefits and functionality. It's really easy to load images and videos. It's just a colossally easy thing to do. You don't need to know that much, like you could with a Content DM system, which is far more sophisticated, but for some of us it's actually overkill. It's more than we need. Items are arranged as they're loaded, so think about, if you will, a library where everything just sort of comes in at the end of the shelf, and everything is organized not so much by what intellectually, where it belongs intellectually, but when it arrived. There are a lot of ways around that. People find them by tags, descriptive terms, titles, albums, and groups. Images can be public or private, so if someone says, hey, I don't want this picture on the web, you can make it private, which helps. There is an internal image editor, Aviary, which is really useful. When it's working, it's since been, it's going to be upgraded, and so right now it's not working. I'm going to try to flip, and I'm going to ask Krista to help and see. So you should be looking at my Flickr. Yep, yep, we see that now with all the scrolls, yeah. Talk about Aviary, though. That is also a separate product that you can just use. I mean, you said it's built into Flickr, but it's also, because I've used it before, separate from Flickr. Right, but you know, if it's... That's nice because it's all in one place, yeah. Flickr is that you don't have to actually download it, edit it, and then upload it again. Right, right, yeah. So you're doing it sort of live on the web. So here's a picture I took yesterday of one of my squirrel friends or two days ago, and what did I do yesterday? I guess I didn't get those... Take it on April 10th, it says. Yeah, I guess I didn't take any yesterday. Oh, no, here's mine yesterday. I just scrolled down. So this is the guy I took yesterday. And you know, here's the image. I've got my description right here. It's in groups. It has all of these albums that it's in, and it has tags. So if I want to look at pictures that I took in April over UN Squirrel, so I can look, and I'm going to just move this. So right now you can see that I've taken 2400 pictures over the years of squirrels in April. So is there just like one squirrel, or is there like a horde of them? There's a lot. If there was one, that would be weirder than it actually is right now. There's a lot of squirrel pictures. Yeah. They're very common on campus, and they're here there in their cavity nest. The thing to remember about the way that you organize is like with any database, where the items sit is really immaterial as to how people are going to use it. They're going to use it by finding things. They're going to use it by doing keyword searches. So I wanted just to show you how this is actually managed. And if I open this, pull this over here, it's very, very easy. Here's the actual edit button. You can see down here, and there's edit naviary, and here's the update. The goal would be that I could update, maybe crop that online. So I wouldn't have to download it. If I do want to download it, I can download it in just about any size. So I always load mine in original. One of the things that I actually just showed us now, if I can easily share in Facebook, Twitter. And so if I do end compass, no, it's end complied, right? I think so. Yes, that's the hashtag I created. I made up for us, yeah, abbreviating it a little bit. So if I send that out now, it's part of the thread. So little guy in a cavity nest. So what I'm going to do is that's sort of what I wanted to show you in so far as actually looking at functionality. More information, your profile, the functionality, your profile, you can actually have a lot of good stuff to add information about your library. And so this is an older stamp of my profile, and you can see actually I've got some pictures of me through the years. And you can manage your information, privacy, all of this information, and even though it's a personal account, it can be for you, an individual, an institution, what have you. And here are some favorites of other Flickr members that I have, okay? Functionality also is about uploading. It's super easy to upload. Here is just some that I did recently. You can pull them up, import them from your desktop, and you can change the titles all to the same thing into different things. You can add descriptions, add tags, add to albums and groups. I'll talk about that in a little bit. This works really well for loads that are about 300 photos or less. More than 300 photos, it's a good idea to break things up. Occasionally items loaded in here. There's a break in the internet or so, and over the connection, and you just don't get all of the content, and it makes it hard to find, okay? You can also make changes down the road. Another, so after functionality, flexibility is really important. We can use albums and collections to pull like things together, and this is really important when you think about library. You can have collections, events, programs, community endeavors, all sorts of things. This allows you to pull together and segregate items from others, and it also makes it easier to share. Creates nice ways to share members, especially if you're going through other organizations. This is actually what my albums look like a year, and think of an album as a folder or just sort of a sub-collection of your photos. We have ocean-going cargo ships, lighthouses at Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, light ships at Benefit Show. My sister-in-law has a dance studio, so I take pictures at those events. Here's the book move out and a variety of stores, and basically anything is available. What I'm going to do is just bounce back, so get rid of the squirrels, and we'll look at my albums right now, and you can see that actually here are two events that took place at the raw school. This is Detroit Youth Maker Faire. This is the Sanger Leadership Crisis, which took place at the University of Michigan. A while ago, here's my nephew looking really dorky. Squirrels in New York City. It's the cutest use ever of a mailbox. Those are two squirrels who are living in a mailbox that are in Washington Square. There's a lot of good things here at Washington County Cemetery. There's just a whole lot here, and then if I click on this, what I can do is I can also share this, actually let me go back and share squirrels of New York City, and again I can do the same thing, put in a hashtag, and com live, get the P, and now it's part of that thread, and it just makes it an easier way to share these. There isn't any limit in the number of these albums that you have in a standard account, so this is something that's really very, very useful. I'm going to go back. One of the things that you can also do is actually pull together a lot of different collections, so I showed you a couple different events that were at the raw school of business, so I'm very, very fond of museums, independent of my name, lighthouses, and maritime history, and it's just quite by accident. We can bring together all sorts of things, so here are all the different groups that I have, collections of photos of lighthouses all over the country, so there's some interesting things that we can actually look at here. Findability is really great. Tags are the best way to have people find your image. Now when we think about findability in libraries with a remark, we think of double and core, we think of descriptive terms and very controlled and precise ways that we catalog something. In Flickr and a lot of tag-based environments it's kind of a hot mess, but it actually works really well. There's no real limit on the number of tags. You've seen Instagram pictures, hashtag mad, hashtag angry, hashtag blonde, hashtag old, hashtag etc. You can keep going with that, but there's no limit. You can really do everything you want. This is actually where things are found, and this has been just remarkable for me at least to experience this, and as a librarian thinking about how this works is just really fantastic. They can have internal or external meanings, so they all live together in the same place. Sometimes things don't index right, and you have to re-index them, and it takes about 24 hours, and that's a hint. You can make an image private then public again, and it re-indexes it. Images with no tags or only internal use tags will be virtually hidden. If we look here, this is a picture I took last year at Squirrel at U of M, March 31, 2016. You can search for any of the terms in the description, but the tags are really what are more important. You can see that there's public tags, Squirrels, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Animals Campus, University of Michigan, and then there's this one that says U.M. Squirrels 03312016. No one is going to search for that, but if I wanted to find the pictures that I took that day, that's what I use. I'll use underscores instead of space occasionally to make it more useful for me, but occasionally you'll set these up to make them work for you. If you're editing a collection, that becomes very, very, very useful then to be able to identify each of the items. Again, using these local or internally tags lets you find them. Findability groups are another great way. There's a Michigan Libraries group, there's a Nebraska Libraries group, there's groups on nearly any topic and anyone can create a group. Here are some on Squirrels, as you might imagine I'm interested in that. If I go back in a bit, you can collaborate with community members and organizations like Historical Societies. It's a great way to share your pictures, but to see the other pictures that people have. Instead of thinking about the library as sort of the center of local history, for example, it becomes one element in a community. The friends let you do that. In fact, if I go here, I'm going to swing back here, I'm just going to pull this over. I'm going to go to my profile. Here are the pictures of me. Here are the people that I'm following. These are my Flickr friends. I just recently have Council Bluffs Library in Tulsa and Oak, Omaha. Here are the groups that I'm involved. I'm associated with 658, all sorts of things, every one of my interests. Again, if I click here, this is the Nebraska Library Commission's group. This is not their group. This is their Flickr feed. I can look at their profile and actually it can show me what groups that they're in. Are they in any groups that I want to join? Library bags. Yes, that's something that's very popular. All those different tote bags that people that are given out of conferences. That is awesome. Anyone who's married to a librarian, there's the inevitable question, why did you bring home more bags? Some conferences, you don't have a choice. If I'm going to join this group, it's that simple. In order to add something, I'm going to add something really quickly to this because I think it would be really appropriate. You can see just how easy this is. I am hoping actually I can find it. I did not intend to do this. This is it. Is that a mountain of bags or? I was at, that's me, in 2008, when we were doing a bag stuffing for those conferences. You might complain about having some of those bags at home. There it is. I remembered it, but it's bagged and bad stuffing, IUG, and I was able to find that. That's where findability comes to play. You don't get asked that often for this kind of picture, but it's possible that may happen. It's nice to be able to use this in real time and show you some of the things that are happening. Now maybe through the back group, I may have more people that I'm following. This basically shows you, in your context, your favorite photos from other members. I love planes, especially the A380s, the double-decker jumbo jets. Here are some of the libraries that I'm working with. Your context recent photos show on your homepage. It looks a little different now, and so that is always constantly changing. You do get emails daily showcasing the context, new items, and this is great for community building. If you sit there and you actually have 20 people in the community who you're following or other libraries, you can see maybe other events, other contributions that are being made. There's some just fascinating things that are out there. It's super easy to connect, and I showed you how to connect with Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Twitter. You can also very easily send embedded text to add into websites. It makes it easy. You don't have to download and upload. You can actually use this from the web. The next time we look at a picture, I'll show you how to do that. This is an important one of the dynamics, and libraries are about forever. Libraries are about retention. Flickr is a company, and it's part of Yahoo, and it's not completely secure because no company is completely secure. What I do is I create an off-site archive. Right now, there isn't a way to actually dump everything from Yahoo, so it's always good to have it available to you that down the road, you decide you want something else or you're moving and you just want a different means. This way, you don't have to rely on the company to download. Since you rename the pictures as you load them, I use folders to help keep things together. It's a little bit of work, but it has long-term benefits, and not what I haven't had to use it yet. What you can see here is actually what I did from last February. Every day, I take pictures every day because I'm weird and compulsive, and what I've done is I've actually, in each of these folders, I have them labeled. It's um, scroll, and the date, 0201, 2016. They're broken down by what I did that February, and then it's in a folder that's called February Done, and then it's in an external hard drive that I keep at home. That way, if Flickr, let's say Flickr was sold, and they decided that they're taking it down, highly unlikely, but it's plausible. This way, I'm not without my photos. There isn't great description here, there's just the raw data, but there is the ability to find them again. This is a good tip for any service that you're using for hosting your digital collection, content DM or anything. You're going to want to have a backup because you just don't know. Yep. I mean, it's probable and plausible, and this is probably neither, but you know, weird things have happened in a lot of stories in the digital environment where you use a resource, and all of a sudden it's gone one day. It's like a restaurant in your town. Close them one day, it's gone. Another F figure is in statistics. This to me is really great. They provide really great statistics, including page views, image views, items marked as favorites, comments from other users. This actually shows you a graph from March 31st. You can see the last about month in recent views. You can see here it spikes around the 17th. What typically happens, so I'll shoot photographs of a dance recital, and that will typically be what I share out, and that gets very popular, and so that's why I have the spikes up into the 50,000 views. It resets at 8 o'clock, I believe, what would that be, 7 o'clock your time, and that's that, and you can see how many people have viewed your photos, photo stream albums, collections, and galleries. I have no galleries. That's why it's a sad zero, and as of last year, I have 0.66 terabyte of unlimited views, and so it's a lot of photos, and so you think about it, unless you're planning to have $200,000, you're probably going to be okay with their standard contract or standard account. You can see basically on a daily basis what's been viewed, and then on a sort of an all-time views, and mostly these are some of my more popular dance pictures of my more popular squirrel pictures, so go figure. That's basically what shows up here. You get regular emails about your recent activity. They've added as a favorite, they've made a comment. It's nice to see, okay, so what's going on, what are people doing, and it's really nice to be able to have that kind of engagement with a larger group of people. And the last F benefit is that it's free. U of M, we have a very good budget, it's not enough, but we get to use resources like this for free, and I don't have to pay for maintenance, I don't have to pay for anything. A library-focused digital image systems can be expensive and are not easy to find or use. They're more sophisticated certainly than this, but they may also be more than what you might need. Pro accounts, which I think are still available, are very modest and the cost is 25 a year. Their standard account, I still think it's very good. Yeah, they do have the, I have the pro account for my personal one, yeah. I've had the, Christa, I've had the pro account forever. Yeah, I just keep renewing it automatically every year. But yeah, they did change it. The free now has that one terabyte of storage was the big thing for that, yeah. And they can be very generous because most people aren't going to have that much content, but still it should cover almost everyone. Your image is your rights. I upload everything with Creative Commons licenses. I think these are really fantastic. Basically, it allows people to use it for editorial purposes, for free, it makes them available. If they want to use it for commercial purposes, they need to contact me. And I've had a couple people do that and it's very satisfying. And so you can put restrictions on accessing, downloading if you want. But if it's findable, then people are going to use it. So actually, so here's a couple uses. For a long time, this Fox channel, every time they ran a story in their website about O'Hare, they used this picture, which I took one year flying out to California. I was flying on United through Chicago. I was not removed from the plane. So that was a good day. I didn't realize how good a day it was until now. But this is a picture that they use. They're using an editorial context. Here's a picture of some peonies. We have beautiful peony gardens in May and June in Ann Arbor. And it was used for the cover of Michigan History. Here are some from Michigan Public Radio about energy insulation and the Jordan Shrike River Lighthouse. So again, if they can find it, they can use it. And that's what's really important. I want to jump back and show you a couple things. But here's the information. And because it's a library presentation and I've been devoid of cats, I thought I would actually add some. Those are mine. Those are from a cat rescue that I work with. I volunteer and I use that flicker also to share those pictures out. There was a couple more things I wanted to show you before we leave. One of the things that so I already looked at that. So this is actually from the Omaha Public Library. I was really kind of excited to see this. This came up just this morning. I think these were posted just a couple of days ago. They have a great, great site. Here are some events that they have. This was their Easter Acon, the Best Johnson Elkhorn branch. And you can just see some really fantastic things, including a giant bunny. So, you know, you can't have an Easter Acon without a giant bunny. I think the sister is probably a little less sure of it than her brother. But you can there's some really neat things. And I'm sure that also that people will appreciate being able to see this. Any time I'm dealing with pictures of students, I try to identify the event, but nothing else. And I think that's that's appropriate. We've done some really neat community events in Celine. But you can see quite a lot here. One thing I was going to show you, and I think I can do this. We have enough time if I go to huge. Actually, I'm going to go. So I'm going to go to my profile page and then I'm going to go to. Actually, I can do it up here. Bluefield Public Library. There it is. OK, so this is actually what I want to show you. They do really cool things with. With documents and they've been doing this for quite some time. And so here's Joseph Bueson. This is it must be a veteran collection, a serviceman from Bloomfield. And this is a Florence Roberts Memorial file. And so one of the things it's there in the header. There are no tags that are made. But if I search for this name, I'm very likely to find this, even though it was updated only on March 30th. It's very, very fast to update. And these are the kinds of resources that someone is going to stumble on and just they're going to flip their lid because maybe they this is Bloomfield, New Jersey, and maybe they live there at some point. And it would not be something that people would really expect to find. And it really be fantastic. And if this is something that you really wanted, one of the other things I want to show you, if we go back to this arrow, which shows as share, what I can do is embed. And what this does, I'm going to copy this, that openness. I think you should still be able to see this and make this bigger. So this is actually HTML text that can be put in any web page. And it will show the image. And when you're doing this, don't save. I can change it to be a square, a thumbnail, a larger square, original and large. But there's some really wonderful things here. And you can see there's not a ton of metadata. And you can add to these things as you want. You know, the 313th Fighter Squadron, you can add these as tags as you want and as you have the ability to do so. But I really personally think that this is one of the neat collections. If I go to albums, I think they have things broken down. So here's that. Here's that element. They have census. Oh, there's census information. Look at that. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I think there's just pages of the census documents. So if you had, then if I click on that, I can't look a little closer. And if you're 52 or three like I am, you need to make it really large. So that's nice. It's really fantastic what they've done. And go back to the album list. And the thing is one of the things that I love about it is that you can build this organically. Yeah, you know, when you have a digital collection, you like to have a lot of things there at first. However, sometimes that's not always possible. So you can start things very, very sort of piecemeal or small. You can actually, I'm going to look at this. I need to be able to rotate just down here. Oh, no, maybe I can't rotate it. Can I do that? Well, it's on its side. I don't think I can rotate it, but that's a bookmobile. Oh, I love when the little kids were ties. Um, so there's there's a fantastic amount of resources here. And every library has got these amazing tools, these collections. And we think about people who are in Nebraska, Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois, who, you know, his family had been there forever. And all of a sudden they end up picking up and moving somewhere else. As they go back and they do their research to be able to search for something and to define something along these lines. It's really fantastic. These are all indexed in Google. And one of the things that I do, the last thing I'm going to do. So I'm doing a search here in Google. And if I do settings tools last month. So these are things that that are on Google that I put out there. I didn't send it to Google. This is from March 22nd. And I was able to find it because they use the photo credit. And this is about trade issues. It's a China shipping line container at the Port of LA. This makes it real easy to find out who's using your stuff, if anyone is. But it shows you just basically how quickly this material gets out there in the market. And in fact, if I get rid of this, scroll, and I change the tool to less, 24 hours. Maybe I need to do past week. There are going to be some things that are showing up very quickly. Here's a gallery on Flickr's of silly squirrels. And somewhere in there, there's one of mine. Hey, it's good to be known for something, I guess. Now, yeah, this is great. There's a lot of people that are finding things like I know getting notifications sometimes or getting, like you said, being asked that random pictures that you didn't even think were anything like specially. I wasn't, you're not going out to take some professional stock photo. You're just taking a picture of a squirrel. But somebody wanted a picture of a squirrel for some reason. And yours was the one that caught their attention. Well, and part of it is actually being caught. A lot of great photos are out there that are just not tagged and so are impossible to find. Think about a book on your shelf or an article in your databases that's been misattributed or maybe it doesn't have the right date or maybe it's suppressed, it's invisible. So every tag we add to any of these images makes them very visible. And I think that's really what when we think about libraries, we think about Harry Potter's of the world and Percy Jackson and Daniel Steele and a lot of the big names that come through. And we think of reference works, but we also think of these local collections that really are unique and spectacular. And if there's a way that we can use resources like this to share it out. Digital image, digital projects have a great way of being very intimidating. And so to be able to do something like this on a smaller scale and maybe bringing in volunteers and bringing in members of the community is a great engagement point for almost any library. And I think a lot of people, especially the smaller libraries like we have here in Nebraska, are maybe intimidated by that software like Content DM or something like you said, it's just more than what they need. They just they have this great historical collection. They've got this vertical file of pictures or newspaper click things or whatever. And they want to get it out there more. This is a nice quick and easy way to do it. But yeah, definitely get those tags in there. But if you don't tag it with something, it's not findable. I mean, you could link to it from your library's webpage and say, look, here we do have a collection. Here's where it all is. And that's great. But add the tags to you're doing it. Well, what the tags do is they open it up so that you no longer have to. So if I knew my family was from Lunefield, New Jersey, I can say, well, I'm going to go there and look at what their collections are. But maybe I know they're just from New Jersey, which we are. But that's not that you know there. And so you sit there and you think about how can we direct people? It's one thing to direct someone when they know where they want to go. It's another thing if they don't know where they want to go. And that's the beauty of Google. That's what it does when it can really pull all these things together and help you find things that you wouldn't otherwise know existed. Yes, there's the beauty. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I think thinking about what the resources that are undocumented or that that are not digitally available in the libraries all across the country would just blow people away. And I think it would be, you know, I would love to see more people participate. And I think that the barrier for entry is way lower than it's ever been. And so that's pretty much the one thing we're still on the slides. So here's my contact information. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. We do have a few comments and questions, but I'll go ahead with this first. Yeah, there are the libraries in the back end of the presentation slides. And I'll go through this are lots of libraries that have these collections. Folks in Michigan, I added Nebraska, some other ones. The, actually, I'm going to go back, the Lester, two rivers, Wisconsin. It just has a beautiful flicker fee. They do a great job. Here's some larger libraries, U of M, Michigan State Library, Congress. And then here's some additional readings and resources. And these are some of these are freely available. Others are in academic journals and and I've got copies of anyone. Once one of these, I can definitely send it your way. But there's just a tremendous amount of resources that are available here. And I think that when a library wants to do something along these lines to be able to move in this direction without actually, you know, sitting there first thing, you know, oh my God, how we're going to pay for the software and then how we're going to do the project, you can move much more slowly as you dip your toe in the water. And just so everyone knows that he was going through those slides pretty quickly, those links, don't worry about it. We're going to have a link to these presentation. This presentation will be included when the recording is made available later as well. So and that's what's on that the tiny URL he has there as well. So no need to try and scribble down all of those libraries or their URLs or anything. They'll all be available right there afterwards as well. So if you do have any questions, type them into the questions section of your GoToWebinar interface and I will pass on. We have a couple of things here already as you were talking. One, just a comment related to squirrels. Someone here is a parent as well from Western Kentucky University. And she says they have actually albino squirrels there. I have seen them. We've actually seen, I haven't seen. So they're parts of the country where they're more common. We actually had, let me see if I can find it. We actually had in Ann Arbor, I saw not that long ago, one with a white tail. Oh, just the tail, though. Yeah, and it was, let's see if I can find that. Here in Lincoln, Nebraska where I am, we have in certain areas of town black squirrels, actually, all black fur, which are only in certain areas, not in the whole city. So like where my house happens to be, it's not. But like six, eight blocks away, I drive by them there. They're very specific of where they want to live, I guess. Oh, wow, look at that. So you can see actually that these are fox squirrels and you can see that for whatever reason. And the beginning part of his tail seems to have the regular coloring, but everything else is white. And so again, we tag. So I can, you know, part of it is actually knowing what to look for. But yeah, one of my colleagues here at the library said, Oh my God, I saw a white-tailed squirrel. I'm like, I have no response. But he was there for a little while and then we never saw him again. So I don't know what exactly happened. All right, all right. We have a question about Flickr, though, rather than squirrels. Earlier, you were talking about updates that come from it and they want to know if you can change from daily updates to a weekly digest or something from when it is that there's any way to control that. Insofar as the emails that come. Not sure yet. Donna, were you talking about the email updates? Yes. Yeah, the emails. Is there any way of modifying that or is it always just a daily or when something comes up? Email and notifications. So we're looking at the email notifications. So we can send copies of group invitations, etc. You can control what invitations you get. Summary of recent activities and you get a daily digest. Let me see if I change this. What is a daily digest? Not yet, but yeah, or you can actually have it as soon as it happens. Oh, and here's one. Yes, but we can. So you can choose it to be individual, which could depending on how active yours can be crazy or once a day or once a week. So yeah, all right. So things get overwhelming. Yeah, you might want to bump it down to something less often than every time. She's the same as when I was hoping. You can also tell only about new content from friends and family. So those are the people who are the ones that you're connected with. Right. And that's something you can do. I've seen you can indicate you can categorize everybody you are friends with or connected to as whether they're friends, family or neither. And well, it's just some library I'm following and I want. Yeah. And then down here, you can see uploads by email options. So I can send an email. I've never done this. I can send it because I always tweak with the descriptions. So I can send an email with an attachment and I believe it'll just load it to Flickr, but I'm not really sure that myself either. I just use either the app or the website or something. Yeah. So and there's a lot of things here about who can see your profile. Hide your profile from public searches. I didn't know. Hide your stuff from public searches. No, some people do. You can hide your EX, IF data, which is how fast the shot was. F stops, et cetera, your camera information. I love seeing it. I think it's really helpful when I look at great photos from other people. I want to see that. So yes, there's a lot of settings you might want to look into that you may have different depending on if you have your own personal account for your things and then maybe a separate account for your library. There may be different things you would allow on each of those. So you definitely want to go and look at all these privacies and the permissions that you're allowing. All right. It doesn't look like any other questions have come in. If anybody has a last minute deferred. Oh, wait, of course, something comes in. As I say that. OK, searching tips, for example, if you want to search for Nebraska, but not the military ship. So nothing, you know, the Nebraska. Is there a way of doing stuff like minus boat or ship or something? Is there any ways to do that? I can do that in Google. Right. Yeah, don't know if Flickr has that kind of advanced. I don't think I have much of anything. So if I actually, oh my God, I never dawned on me. So my niece rides a horse. Her horse's name is Nebraska. So this is actually this is where you need some good disambiguation. You can see actually on the screen, you should be able to. I think you're seeing this. Yeah, we're seeing your flickering now. Yeah, there's my niece and her horse and here's Nebraska. So I've taken 1198 photos of Nebraska, none of which are actually Nebraska. As you guys know it, it's this horse. So you get when you do a search, you get your photos, people you follow, and then everyone's photos. So you can actually limit this by what is relevant. The date they were uploaded, the date they were taken or interesting. And by limiting it to interesting, oh, here's, okay. So by limiting it to interesting, you actually get the ones that are more popular. Now, why am I seeing F-14s? They were before the, yeah, they fly over my house when they do their practice runs. And so they're probably listed that way. And there's Nebraska, the horse with his distinct colorings. If I go to advance here, I can limit it to, instead of all text, I can just do the tags. And now I've got, I only have Nebraska as the horse's name. And so that makes it a little easier. I can limit it to photos, videos. I can do a date range. I can do a minimum size. But what I don't know, and maybe I can play with this, is to see Nebraska not ship. I don't know if that would actually work. I've got nothing there. So if I go to, if I go back, Nebraska not ship. I don't know if that is actually going to. Yeah, and there's no way to really tell unless you, like it doesn't even show you. Here's what your search was to see, oh wait, we didn't get the ship in there. And yeah. Well, there might have been 3,000, because now the view all is less if I leave it out. I said, Nebraska, I'll try this, not horse. Yeah, that did it. Look, I went from 1,100 to 15. So I learned something new today. Oh, yeah. Oh, and she actually, oh, I wasn't looking at the questions. Her suggestion was trying squirrel, not U.M., but Nebraska not horse works as well. And if I look at interesting, so this is at Vanderbilt. This is at UCLA. I need a better hobby, I know. But when you get to go to Tennessee and you get to see a squirrel eating fried chicken, it's pretty cool. You're going to want to take a picture of that, yes. That's why you always have your camera around. Awesome. All right. She says, great. Thank you. It's exactly what you want to know. So that'll be definitely helpful for looking for whatever topics you might think might have good photos and flicker for your use. Yeah. All right. So it's a little after 11, 11.02 a.m. central time here. Anybody have any last minute, desperate questions that you want to ask? Get them typed in right now. Someone did say, awesome webinar. We've been wanting to do this. Thank you so much. I feel much more confident. That's from one of our librarians here in Nebraska. So cool. Great. You know, it's one of those situations where librarians, I love librarians. They've been a librarian forever. And I know I'd be guilty of this over complicating a problem and then stepping back and going, ah, we can't do it. This is something you can actually move, I think, very, very easily. And there's so many people. I bought a new printer and had a scanner embedded in it. And it was less than $100. So they do now. They're so cheap and with everything, scanner, fax, copy are all built in. Yeah. So. All right. Nobody's typing in things. I think we'll wrap it up for this morning. Well, thank you so much, Krista. Yeah, thanks, Corey. This is great. This definitely makes me, I've been kind of slacking in my own personal flicker use. I've just been lazy for years. I have albums of different events and things and conferences I went to. I actually have taken less pictures just in general. But I need to get back into putting in more things in there and getting it more organized. No, it's fantastic. I've taken pictures every day just as a habit. Some of them are kind of stupid and others are kind of fun. So you never know what you're going to see. Yeah, it's documenting what you're doing. Absolutely. All right. So thank you very much, Corey. Thank you, everyone, for attending. I am going to find the right tab here. Pull back presenter control to my screen. There we go. Show my screen on the right. This side of the way. All right. All right. So that does wrap it up for today's show. Which was the Building a Digital Image Collection with Flickr. The show has been is being recorded and will be available on our website over here. If you want to, Corey, you could shut down your webcam. If you don't want to share it anymore from your side. OK, I will stop. Yeah, I don't know how to do it. There you go. Good job. So it will be here on our website. This is our Encompass Live website where we have our upcoming shows. But right underneath them is a link to our archives. And this is where it will be posted. I'll upload it to YouTube right after we finish up here. It'll be posted here. I'll have a link to Corey's presentation, which this is the link that he put up. The tiny URL goes right here where he has his presentation available. And any specific URLs and things we put into our delicious account, which I started up here at Flickr. And then afterwards I'll go back and add in direct links to some of the other sites he mentioned. Probably not to every single one of those libraries they mentioned because they're available in the presentation. But just a few things will be added in there and they'll be put here on our website. When that is done and available, I will email all of you to let you know that it's ready to watch and share with anyone you want to. So I hope that's for today's show. I hope you join us next week when our topic is LMNOP, which is the alphabet, the evolution of engagement. This is a presentation by our Lincoln City Libraries right here in Lincoln, Nebraska. Jodyne, Vicky, and Leanne are going to be with us. They started with a Library Moms Night Out program, but it became even bigger and more of interest people, so they modified it to a Library Makers Night Out program. This has gone beyond that and they've got a lot of good ideas for Makerspace and things that necessarily a techie type Makerspace. But more other things. I saw this. This is a presentation that they did at our Nebraska Library Association and School Librarians Association Annual Conference last fall that I attended. And it was really cool and interesting, a really fun program they have. So I hope you'll sign up for that show and any of our other future ones we have coming up. I've got the other May dates I'm working on filling in as well. So always keep checking back and you'll see new, new sessions coming up. Also, Encompass Live is on Facebook. There's a link here and I'll each of our sessions and I've got the page over here. So if you are a big Facebook user, pop over there and give us a like. I post reminders about shows. Here I did a reminder this morning about that people could log in on the fly today's Flickr presentation. When our recordings are available, I posted here, which was the one from last time. So if you are big on Facebook, please do give us a like and see and keep up to date on what we're doing there. Other than that, that wraps it up for this morning. Thank you very much, Cori. Thank you everyone for attending and we will see you next time on Encompass Live. Bye bye. Bye. Find where my recording button.
