We have not done that. 

BUT, WOW! What a great idea. Please let us know how it goes. I also would
like to have email from anyone who has done it.

Thank you,

Hi,

 

My library is celebrating its centennial next year but we seem to keep
recycling the same historic photos of the library for every major event.  I
am hoping to make a call out into the community to see if we can gather
additional photos of the library, staff, programs, etc. to use for our
publicity next year.

 

Hence, I was wondering if any of you have ever hosted a scanning party at
your library where you have invited members of the community to bring in
their historic photographs so you can scan them, burned them onto a DVD and
then uploaded copies of the images onto a photo-sharing website such as
Flickr?  If so, could you please email me off the list with any advice you
would like to share?  

 

Thank-you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

 

May
