Editor's Notes
- Pinterest is a fairly young website. Development began in 2009 with the first users participating through invitation-only. Within nine months of the official launch, it already had over 10,000 users. Pinterest is a pinboard-styled photo sharing website that allows users to create theme based collections on various user created topics. Users can search boards created by others or upload their own images to the site. Images can either be original photos or thumbnails that will link back to a bookmarked website. The appeal of Pinterest is that is a very visual service which makes for easy browsing. Pinterest is also one of the latest in web 2.0 websites.
- Here are some tips on using Pinterest. Be courteous in your comments and responses. Use detailed descriptors. You can also use hashtags and tag people in your descriptions to not only make searching easier and to bring a particular pin to someone’s attention. Don’t describe all the steps in your description. Post the source and make sure your image links back to the original webpage. Don’t use Google images! If there is a problem on the website like something not working right or inappropriate content, report it. While certain items are against the user policy, Pinterest does not monitor them all. They rely on users to report problems.
- Look into Carrie Russell’s workshops and publications. She is a frequent speaker on the topic of Copyright in regards to Non-profits, Libraries, and Schools. PLA is hosting one in April.
- My name is Jennifer Hopwood and I will be your instructor for the next ten weeks. We are an asynchronous course which means that we do not meet face to face. So if you need to get in touch with me, I recommend that you email me at my MySJSU email. I do work full time as a library training coordinator so that means that I am not always available via phone. I am pretty much always online and if you send me an email, chances are you will get a quicker response than leaving me a voicemail. We can also schedule office hours in one of the blackboard collaborate rooms if we need to discuss something in further depth.
