NEW: Balfour Library Pinterest online pinboard to publicise books and e-books acquisitions

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!
