Hi,
I was waiting for the lawyers/smart folk here to read the legal stuff... from what I understand by using the service you give Google the rights to use images for now and forever more... I'm guessing it is FREE but you we are paying in IPR? Guessing if you use a good CC license this isn't a problem....
When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing you have added to Google Maps). Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service. Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services.

Hi All,
I can't believe I'm the first person to mention this on this list (so will presume not!) but I've just heard about Google Open Gallery, which gives free tools for artists, museums, archives and galleries to create galleries. You can request an invite here: http://www.google.com/opengallery
More about the initiative here: http://thenextweb.com/google/2013/12/10/google-launches-open-gallery-help-museum-gallery-create-online-exhibits/#!px1eH
Pretty fascinating to see how/if this takes off and how Google is approaching this from an 'open' and technological perspective (how it might work with aggregators like Europeana for example) But I can see a real demand in many smaller institutions. Interesting to consider the implications.
Best,
Joy
