Another great idea

Emily touts the Picture Australia example from Lorcan's presentation below. The idea of putting the images on flickr was cited by Lorcan as an example of 'syndicating the user discovery experience." He also cited a great example of "syndicating links" whereby libraries are putting entries and links to their special collections in wikipedia. (He gave an example of someone's salmon collection but I didn't catch the specific collection - does anyone remember?). I would be curious to hear if folks know of other libraries that are adding local/unique resources to wikipedia.

The salmon example referred to U-Washington, which entered their salmon collection. I thought this was a great idea as well!
