Hi everyone - I am continuing to make available to the Michigan Library community (and others) on managing and organizing digital pictures. I am presenting virtually and in-person for libraries or cultural organizations. 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 & timing worked out. So please feel free to share this with others. And I am happy to expand to libraries elsewhere - as long as the timing works. Here is the initial 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@umich.edu - Corey's flickr page - https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/ - Corey's personal website: https://www.squirreldude.com/ - Program page (including the most recent slidedeck used for this presentation and previous locations): https://www.squirreldude.com/photography-programs/managing-digital-images or https://www.squirreldude.com/photography-programs - I have been updating the slides 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! I am also starting to develop some new programs on similar topics. The program ideas are here: https://www.squirreldude.com/photography-programs/future-programs. These include smartphone photography, benefits and drawbacks of using AI for photo management, and photography in Michigan. I have started to outline them, but will create a finished presentation when I have an initial date. It is likely that it would take around four months to develop. 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. For a location I had lots of fun presenting on this topic and would be happy to do it again for your community. Best wishes for the rest of Spring and Summer 2024.
