A Happy Commonsversary to the National Library of New Zealand
Posted by Stephanie Fysh in ArticlesA happy first year in the Commons to the National Library of New Zealand, who joined The Commons on Flickr on November 27, 2008. Since then, we’ve learned just how active in new ways of reaching out to users through technology the NLNZ is, with exciting projects like DigitalNZ. And check the magnifier on their front-page announcement about their December move – we users like some fun as well as a chance to contributte!
But here at Indicommons, our heart is with the NLNZ on Flickr, and here are some of the ways …
