After struggling for years with how to manage and share a sprawling photo library at a large university, several designers at Arizona State University worked together to find a solution by using Flickr. Cindi Farmer, art director and multimedia developer at ASU will share their experience, and talk about the models and processes that have worked the best for the community of designers at ASU.

Time-consuming to browse folders- Photos may belong to multiple categories- sometimes had to rely on colleagues’

memory

Photo requests took a lot of our time/bandwidth- Hunting for the photos- Emailing / ftp / dropbox- Also produces a resistance/delay in sharing

Separate photo libraries with little sharing- didn’t know what was in each other’s

library- Took more time to get hi-rez version

Easier for our team to search photos - browse categories - search keywords

Culture of openness & sharing in the community

- Easier for us- Easier for them- Increased whuffie / connection

Separate photo libraries, but with numerous connections to other library

- Have control over who sees what- Can see recently uploaded images- Can download hi-rez right off flickr- More bang for our buck

searching

sharing

connecting
