My friend Flickr, sorry, but it keeps repeating in my mind. Flickr is my friend and I love the blogging tool. I did find some pictures on flickr that were of our library, but I didn't have consent by the parents, so I decided against posting them. They weren't uploaded by our library but by a parent of one of the children pictured.
I learned a lot in this section about gaining permission and what is and is not legal. It all makes me nervous. I am a strong believer in consent forms. I wonder if it is possible to add a line to a library application that asks if photos of the individual may be used for publicity purposes. But then what do we do about events where the general public attends and there is no way to get everyone's permission?
The law definitely needs to catch up to technology unfortunately as fast as media is evolving I don't see that happening.
