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? How successful has it been? Did you encounter copyright issues using cover images? Did you encounter problems with students comments? Thanks.
