Libraries that use Flickr
Library Stuff has a list of libraries that use Flickr. I have been keeping one eye and ear open about Flickr because I find it interesting. But really most of the information and experiences I have heard about have been mainly from the public library sector and the Library 2.0 crowd. What I would like to know is what medical libraries are using Flickr and for what purpose?
Perhaps because it is Monday and I am rockin' out to the new Tom Petty album and have yet to have my morning caffeine, but I just don't know what I would use Flickr for in a medical library setting. Before all of you Flickr advocates start jumping up down yelling at me.... I am not saying that Flickr can be of no use in a medical library setting. I am saying, I just don't know of how it can be used and that is why I am asking for some brainstorming comments.

Flickr as a cheap image database? Load in pictures which may be tagged in unique and informationally-relevant manner, then permit open use and advertise the image collection to specific user groups? Easily accessible, generally reliable, and minimally time consuming means of building a specialized clinical images library?
Just brainstorming.
