Does your library, museum or organisation publish new photographs under Creative Commons?

I am asking this question because I have just been looking at a post called San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2013 in Pictures: The Creative Commons Edition [Gallery] which as part of the article says "Please note that all the pictures you see below are licensed under a Creative Commons license"

I like the way it is making it really clear that these images (and not other images) published on this site are Creative Commons.  I have also noticed, when I copied the article title it automatically added an attribution,which is exactly the text shown just below this.

I have added the blue as a highlight.  This is also a nice feature as it makes the attribution easier. 

It also prompted the question, how would your library, museum or organisation respond if someone looking like some of these people, came into your library?  Hopefully they would have a great library experience, and not be asked to leave.

I like this sign. It was clear. It told me something I did not know. There is helpful small print at the end of it saying there is a one off registration - so they were being helpful about something which may present a problem. The small print is not so small you can not read it while still walking, no so large that it dominates the sign.

You are approaching the future...

This sign is at the National Museum in Canberra.

This is one of my favourite museums.   They have really really interesting exhibitions, an excellent permanent exhibition and an amazing building.  I think the building builds excitement as you walk towards it seeing the curve of orange towering above you.  There are lovely views over the lake as well.

This sign is on the way to part of the museum.  I thought it was asking an excellent question for the end of blogjune.  I thought it was suggesting a proactive rather than a passive approach to the future.  It is also suitably ambiguous as we all make and are made by our environments.  It seems to require conscious action.

It has been another fun blogjune. I am still catching up with lots of fabulous posts written by many amazing people - so part of my future will be reading more blogjune posts.

I already have a ticket...

This sign is at the National Gallery in Canberra.  It is about their current exhibition which is well worth seeing.

They had more complex information to convey, but it broke into three parts - hence the bigger writing on the sing.  This meant that you did not have to read the whole sign, just the part which related to your circumstances.

They were saving your time and giving you the information you needed, easily.  There were several of these panels on the way in, so which ever way you approached the gallery you were likely to see them.

I was interested that none of the signs had social media connections, but perhaps I missed them.

The signage for the exhibition was excellent.
