I located this image in Flickr by conducting an advanced search. I checked the box to only search within creative commons licensed content. The creator of the image permits non-commercial use with attribution and share alike. The photographer is Orgur Mulazimoglu. I tried to upload the image using the upload image link in blogger. I pasted the URL, but it would not work. I pasted the embedded code from the image in the HTML editor in blogger and that worked!
I chose not to create a Flickr account and upload photographs. I already use some photo sharing sites, but only share with specific family or friends by emailing links.
As far as using photo sharing for the library, I am confused about the legalities after reading the article by Michael Stephens. I work at a high school and am not sure about student.parent permission for posting student images. I love some of the ideas libraries are using in the flickr groups. I noticed the group requesting images from Carnegie funded libraries. In my town, we have a beautiful old Carnegie Library building that houses our museum. I did not see a photo of it, so I will plan to take one and add it to the group. I plan to explore more ideas for my library as far as creating groups for a contest or something similar to the Carnegie Library Group.
