Pinterest

There has been publicity for Pinterest, which allows you to assemble pin boards of images you have encountered on the web (though also intellectual property concerns). I've not seen that much specifically about information literacy (I've started a board, see below), but in terms of libraries there was this item a few days ago:
DeSantis, N. (2012) "3 Ways College Libraries Are Exploring Pinterest". The Chronicle of Higher Education, 27 April. http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/3-ways-college-libraries-are-exploring-pinterest/36195 and a slideshow:
Murphy, J. (2012) Pinterest for Museums and Libraries. http://www.slideshare.net/joseph.murphy/pinterest-for-museums-and-libraries. Murphy's Pinterest site has some good examples as well.
