Pinterest Review

Review of Pinterest as a social media platform suitable for use by libraries or library related organisations

What is it used for	Book recommendations and reviews, suggested reading, new releases, links to catalogue, book trailers, sharing ideas with other libraries
Can a library use its own brand	No, limited to icons only
Demographics of users	Mostly woman, adults from 20-45
Can it be linked to own catalogue	Yes
Limitations	Bandwith hungry, can only pin websites with an image
Can be used on computer, tablet and mobiles	Yes
What kind of library organisations use twitter	The fact is hardly no library organisations use Pinterest
Recommendation/s	Would be ideal for book review, however will need to be linked to our website and other social media platforms or it might get lost. Need to promote that the library uses Pinterest on newsletters, website, blog and other social media platforms
