Library photos/PR

I've been asked about "how to do" library PR a few times lately, which put me in mind of an ALA TechSource ("your source for the latest in library technology") by Cindi Trainor, Coordinator for Library Technology and Data Services at Eastern Kentucky University Libraries.

While part 4 of the ‘Taking Pictures and Telling Stories at Our Libraries,’ Fun with Photos at Library Events got pretty famous, the first three are worth seeing as well.

Part 1  is “Show off Your Library Staff with Great Portraits, Part 2 is Photography Basics covering ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, and Part 3 is ‘A la Mode,’ all about the modes and options on cameras.

Trainor also discusses Flickr extras at Flickr Extras, Stay on Top of the Chaos, and Creative Commons.

Good stuff, free stuff, particular to libraries.
