Does anyone use Flickr in lieu of a collections site? Does anyone upload all newly digitized collections images (and metadata) both to a collections website *and* to Flickr? I'm guessing most folks use Flickr to highlight specific items or groups of items, rather than replace or duplicate a collections website, but I'm curious in any case about pros and cons of the site in relation to digitized collections. This feels like a question that could well have been discussed already on this list or elsewhere, but a quick search didn't turn anything up, so if anyone knows of anything, I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks! ................................................. Gain Perspective. Get Inspired. Make History.
