Hi, We have been on Pinterest for several months now. So far no problems. Here is the link to our boards http://pinterest.com/OakLawnPL/ . We are using it to promote summer reading also.

Hmm, interesting idea, Farhad. I'd not thought of that. I imagine Tumblr could do similar things, visually at least, but Pinterest seems to have some thematic tracking that could be of use I suppose. I should play with that a bit. I use LibraryThing to track reviews for a journal ( Asian Music ) -- I find that pretty useful. But LT is already set up to track book publishing. All potential reviewers can see what we have available, I can also track when the reviews are submitted and when they are published. And it's colorful with all those covers. I've never had a peep on any image issues. It also enters some basic library info. Hint: always looking for reviewers -- especially if you are into RAB QEEJ HMOOB , or KAEN/KAN , for that matter. http://www.librarything.com/profile/AsianMusicReviews Randal Baier - Original Message - From: Farhad Moshiri mosh...@uiwtx.edu To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 5:43:00 PM Subject: [Videolib] Pinterest Have you used “Pinterest” to advertise your library’s DVDs to your students?
