The announcement notes that “There are many museums, charities, government offices and other organizations already using Flickr to share their stories with interested Flickr members around the world” and that the revisions “just bring the Community Guidelines up to date with how people are already using the site.”įlickr has created a Best Practices page to help organizations get the most out of Flickr. An organizational account allows the library to post photographs taken by different staff members, and to have continuity through staff changes.

Most libraries interested in sharing on Flickr have set up organizational accounts so it’s the library, not a specific individual, sharing the photographs, often unaware that this was contrary to the rules.

The only exception to this has been the Flickr Commons, a special program for museums and libraries sharing historical images. Flickr staff has always said that although an individual could set up an account and post their own photographs of their work with an organization, the account stayed with the person, not the organization. Flickr’s previous guidelines said that accounts were for individuals only, and specifically prohibiting organizational accounts. This is certainly good news for all the libraries who currently have Flickr accounts, who have really been operating outside of the terms, never a good idea.

Flickr announced some revisions to their Community Guidelines today, the most important of which is to allow businesses, non-profits, and other organizations to have an account on Flickr.
