Yellow for Orange

Pretty Orange

I signed up for a Flickr account a few weeks ago in preparation of Library 2.0 training. I was amazed at how easy it was to find great pictures like this one by searching for "orange flowers." Searching with tags helps to filter search results to retrieve only the most relevant items. Imagine if we could filter search results to this level of specificity in our library catalogs!

I am in awe of the generosity of the people who share and tag their photos so that others can find them.

See my previous blog post on the usefulness of mashups.
