This site is amazing. The sheer volume of photos available is enormous. This site would benefit those in the library world greatly as it could potentially increase the impact of display posters tremendously. Why use some simple, boring image from clipart, when you could just look on this site and choose a dazzling photo instead?
Also, flickr could be of enormous benefit if someone is looking for a picture of something there and then, and there are no books available at the time. Just log onto flickr, and the odds are a relevant picture should be available.
One thing that really impressed me about flickr is the world map. People who post photos can enter information about the photo, including where it was taken. Then someone else could type in a particular location, and flickr displays the map, along with all photos that were taken in that particular area.
