Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Library of Congress Photos on Flickr Report

The Library of Congress has just released a report on its initial 
months of experience in making a portfolio of photographs available 
to the public via the Flickr photo-sharing service. This is a 
fascinating project that helps to illuminate the ways in which 
interactions between cultural memory organizations and audiences 
around collections are changing in the digital environment, and I 
think that the report will be of interest to many CNI-announce 
readers. Both a summary and full report, along with other material on 
the project, are available at:

My thanks to Caroline Arms for the pointer to this work.
