I’m grateful for your breakdown of why you chose to use Pinterest for your collection of book artists. I’m a Pinterest newbie, and I confess that I haven’t particularly seen the appeal of (I mean, for my own personal use) before reading your description. With applications like that, I always feel like I start off with a decent organizational system, but eventually let my rules slip until things tumble into chaos, at which point the collection ceases to be useful in a meaningful way and I get to add “Clean up my Pinterest Boards” to my list of things to do while procrastinating. However! Your breakdown of the five search functions, description of pins as able to help build a network of starting points for researchers, and link to your research as a model may help soothe some of this stress. A great example of digital pedagogy via blog post!
