Be sure to explore The Short List: College and The Short List: Grad School to find data that matters to you in your college or grad school search.

Create Your Own Binder Collections with Shelves!

We are very pleased to announce this feature since so many of you have requested it!

Now you can create your own shelves to organize, not only your binders, but other people’s binders as well. Here are some reasons that you might want to create shelves:

1. Collaborate with a group on multiple binders
2. Collect the best binders on a given topic
3. Create a separate shelf for your students and one for parents
4. Organize binders by subject (your binders and binders from other authors)

The nice thing is, when those binders are updated, you automatically have the latest version on your shelf. These new shelves can also be embedded, so you can put them in a website, wiki, or blog.

In fact, you don’t have to have your own binders at all, you can just curate all the great binders that are already out there on your shelves.

Our LiveBinders community has shown us some amazing applications and uses for binders. We can’t wait to see what you do with shelves!

Here is how you create and add to your own shelves:

You will notice that your “My Binders” page has changed its name. It is now “My Shelves”.
