I hadn't really thought about the copyright attached to blog posts until now.
I suppose, once something is posted on the internet, I feel like it is out there and it's so easy to copy text and images, even if there was creative commons attached, it is hard to ever know if people that would use your posts or images would adhere to the attribution rules - if they didn't would you do anything about it? So as for my own content, I would be of the opinion that if I wasn't ok with them being shared I wouldn't post them in the first place.
I did some searching just broadly to see if I could find any photos that I would get any inspiration from.
I like this photo as it makes the library user feel that the person behind the desk is approachabe.
If the person behind has their head down doing some work, the user might not always like to interrupt but this sign gives the green light. This photo is available under creative commons through Flickr.
I have tried my best to attribute it correctly.

The photo below is also a nice idea for signage in the library....

I like that sign too. I think it would be great to be able to distinguish when someone is busy and someone else is free at the desk. I find people get offended if I ask them to use the RFID machines when I'm busy doing something else.
ReplyDeleteYes that would be a great way of using it Niamh, sometimes it's hard to know if someone is in the middle of something or receptive to queries so it would cut out the hovering around factor!
