I have created a Pinterest online pinboard for the Balfour
Library at: http://pinterest.com/zoolib/.
It comprises several separate ‘boards’ with book cover images ‘pinned’ on. It
includes an ‘E-books in zoology and neuroscience’ board, and monthly boards for
new zoology and neuroscience printed books and e-books recently purchased, and
even one for Zoology staff publications held in the Balfour and other libraries
in the University.
I aim to add to these boards over time. You can also get to the
Pinterest pinboard from the Balfour Library website here: http://www.zoo.cam.ac.uk/.
Simply click on the book covers to see the bibliographic
details of the book/e-book, and click on it again to go to the record for it on
the online catalogue (from where you will be able to link directly to e-books).
I hope that the boards help you visualize all the books, and
particularly the e-books, that are available to you, instead of having to read
through a long list.
Your comments on and further suggestions for the pinboard
content and design are most welcome.
I hope that you find this resource useful and inspiring!
