With the popularity of libraries joining Pinterest I thought I would share the list of top 10 libraries that I think are worth following. I like to follow libraries that have boards that focus on research, technology, and interesting promotional ideas.
Criteria:
- Post quality content for repinning- This includes content that promotes research, innovation, best practices, etc
- Generate inventive boards
- Employ creative titles
- Do not overpost or have too many boards
