6. do the monster mashup

Have some Flickr fun and discover some Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites.

Many Flickr mashups are organizational or management tools for people who upload and view a lot images. But some of the third-party apps linked on the Flickr site are fun to play around with and can be useful for librarians.

For example, someone facing a creativity block could use Flikr Hive Mind to make some connections that might help with displays or storytelling (some searches I did were for boredom, dancing, and baseball).

Some educational mashup tools I really like are found here. Through this site one can find images and information about birds, trees and mountains worldwide. There are also preschool printables for things like wild animals, which could be useful in storytime or crafts programs.
