Flickr

The photos of the State Library are wonderful. They really show the library as part of Sydney's cultural heritage, and as a beautiful building that graces Sydney's urban landscape. The library (I guess I'm talking about the Mitchell wing here) is such a lovely building and these photos are an opportunity to show it off to people who might never set foot in it.
On the photos of the interiors and of people I guess I'm wondering about copyright and putting people on the internet who are not aware of this and/or who haven't necessarily given permission.
Labels and tag lines - a popular embracing of plain language cataloguing and retrieval terms.

It is really interesting to see how other people depict 'us'. Some of the images are ones we may want to consider collecting.
