Thanks! And good catch. We adjusted the licenses indicated on Flickr to
match the actual rights on the images. We set our rights at the collection
level so Flickr's batch edit made this a quick change.
FWIW the PS Magazine and Jackson Ward sets are public domain, but Flickr's
options limited us to the least restrictive CC license.

Hi Erin,
Awesome project. I'm curious: what is the license of the images posted to
flickr? Are they have the same license (per flickr account default set --
whatever it is) or are there license variations among the images?
Thanks,
Ranti.

** Apologies for cross-posting **
VCU Libraries has posted new sets of digital collections images on
Flickr
with images + metadata pulled from ContentDM's OAI, using a tool
developed
by the our web team.
PS Magazine, the Preventive Maintenance Monthly: http://go.vcu.edu/_Nxs
Medical Artifacts Collection: http://go.vcu.edu/_HZE
Jackson Ward Historic District: http://go.vcu.edu/_yMX
This Flickr uploader is a web-based PHP app that should work with any
OAI-enabled image repository (with some configuration - we have not
tested
this).
The code is available at http://code.google.com/p/contentdm2flickr/ and
is
very much in beta, but we hope this tool will be useful for others. We'd
be excited to hear from you if you have questions, end up using it, or
want to join the project to improve it.
Thanks!
