[Michlib-l] Library Digital Image Program Available for Public Libraries - Available for Summer and Fall 2024

[Corey Seeman]

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 at umich.edu
   - Corey's flickr page - https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/

   - 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.

Best - Corey
