PICAPP,
what an awesome site. Because I really do love images/photography I love it, love it, love it! The two images I chose, were of a ballet, I love the colour and life in the photograph, and I liked the 'circular-ness' in the image of the great wall of China. This site would be so easy to use by both staff and customers alike and I would definitely use it again. What I did like about Picapp was the choice of using either 'creative' or 'editorial' photos. Although, it did disappoint me that under the search 'Maori' there were only 2 photos to chose from under the heading, Maaori.
Aside from that the benefits to Manukau libraries and our customers would be the use of up-to-date, high quality and 'legal' photographs, and yes I would recommend this site to our customers.
