Hey all you social media geeks:

Pinterest seems to have taken a flying leap into my consciousness lately (I'm often late to the party) and I can clearly see that there are ways in which libraries can use this tool. Here's a good example from NYPL if you haven't dipped your toe into this yet: http://pinterest.com/nypl/?d

My questions concern the effectiveness of the tool. For those of you who are using it, can you help me with the following questions:

1)      How are you promoting this to your patrons?

2)      Are you getting feedback and followers?

3)      Do you believe this investment of staff time to be worth the results and if so, how do you know this?

4)      What kind of boards do you think return the most for the investment of time and/or make the most sense for libraries? Or do you think that we should be creating boards in areas that maybe aren't so apparent of a connection? Or maybe all of the above?

5)      Anything else you want to tell me about-let's keep it related to social media or promoting libraries for now. Venting about your boss can be in the next thread.

I'll be happy to collate responses for readers. Thanks so very much for your time.
Mo
