Library Digital Image Program Available for Public Libraries - Available for Summer and Fall 2022
by Corey Seeman 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

Hi everyone - I hope you are all well on this beautiful and actually spring-like day in Michigan. I would like to continue to make available to the Michigan Library community (and others) on managing and organizing digital pictures. I presented this last year for a few libraries via Zoom including one where I actually presented in-person (IRL). In the past, I was only making this available for Michigan libraries - but I could open this up for any public library as long as the logistics worked out. So please feel free to share this with others. Here is the program information: *Title: Managing Digital Images: Finding, Saving, Sharing and Organizing The Pictures of Your Life!* Presenter: Corey Seeman (Director, Kresge Library Services, Ross School of Business - University of Michigan) - cseeman(a)umich.edu Corey's flickr page - https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/ Corey's personal website: https://sites.google.com/view/squirrelman/ Program page (including the most recent slidedeck used): https://sites.google.com/view/squirrelman/photography-programs *I will be updating the slides next month to reflect the ever changing environment of photo storage on the web.* Program Description: Seems that everyone is a photographer these days. We use our smartphones, our tablets, and even some people even use cameras. With the ease of taking pictures, we find ourselves with a new concern. How do we manage, save and share these pictures? This program will introduce you to photo sharing services that are available from companies such as Google, Apple, facebook and flickr (among others) and how to organize them for easy retrieval. We will look at ways organize, backup and share pictures with friends and family. We will also explore how images are found by others (using tags or search terms), if you want to share more broadly. This could be the perfect session if you want to do something with all those pictures on your phone or clogging up your SD card! --end-- Realistically, I would be happy to do this virtually anywhere and could schedule anytime over the next year or so. I would also be happy to do this in-person if you are relatively close to Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti. There would not be any charge for a virtual presentation. I had lots of fun presenting on this topic and would be happy to do it again for your community. Best wishes for the Spring and Summer! Best - Corey Corey Seeman Director, Kresge Library Services (http://www.bus.umich.edu/kresgelibrary/) Stephen M.

Library Director Opportunity! The Lincoln Township Public Library (LTPL) resides in beautiful Stevensville Michigan, a stone's throw away from Lake Michigan and all the outdoor recreation this shoreline community has to offer. LTPL is ready for its next Director to lead the library towards new endeavors, new levels of engagement, with a commitment to the future, while maintaining an eye on its past.

You build support in all your interactions, exposing people to new ideas and experiences. The library (I.e., your bus) is a safe place for young people from schools to visit daily where they may engage in the summer reading program or various programs that might address their social needs. Who are we? With a service population of 22,905, LTPL's physical footprint occupies 25,000 square feet. LTPL experiences approximately 40,000 visitors, over 150 programs, and over 366,000 items in circulation per year.
