Hinweis der Redaktion
- Google+ is a social networking site that was launched in June of 2011.
- Many LAMs have created Google+ profiles,
- but Google+ has yet to reach critical mass as far as social networking sites are concerned.
- Pinterst is a relatively new site designed for sharing and collecting images and ideas. Pinterest users copy images from all over the web to create groups of images on “pinboards,” which are displayed as virtual bulletin boards. Individual images can (and should) be linked to their site of origin, directing users to the institution’s website. The Indianapolis Museum of Art is one of a few LAMs currently experimenting with Pinterest. The museum has created thematic pinboards, featuring items from its collections.
- The Darien Library in Connecticut has created a Pinterest profile, including various boards with book-related themes.
- The Darien has also has added the “Pin it” button to the social media features in its library catalog.
- This enables a Pinterest user to directly pin images of audio, video, and books from the Darien OPAC to their own boards.
- Booklovers with profiles on Pinterest can pin images directly from Darien Library’s catalog to their own boards and can also re-pin images from the library’s Pinterest boards to their own boards.
- The final site I’d like to share is Historypin, a site for sharing historic visual material within its geographic context. This tool asks users to "pin" their own digital audiovisual and photographic materialsto a world map. Participants are encouraged to add descriptive information and personal recollections associated with the materials they contribute.
- Historypinismanaged by the British nonprofit project “We Are What We Do” in partnership with Google. The site is designed to be an online, user-generated archives. Naturally, LAMs are among the community of users who are creating tours and collections and contributing historic materials.
- This is a screenshot of a “Tour” on Historypin. This particular tour displays various Chinatowns in North America. Users can create thematic tours and collections and open them to public contributions of images and personal narrative. This is an example of how user-contributed photos of yesteryear are superimposed upon a current Google map, placing historic photos in context geographically and allowing visual comparison between then and now.
