Honestly, I never knew there was such a word. Curator, cure...etc, but curation? Well, it's there and being used in my profession so I guess I have to accept it.
Information curation involves gathering information according to content, format, audience, etc.
The 23things exercise involved exploring some content curation tools online such as Pinterest and Scoop.it and creating a Scoop.it account. It also encouraged us to begin "curating" a topic. I choose "Genre fiction" and something I called "Books for you" which I hope will be useful when I start working on my Reader's advisory blog.
I also did some scooping to find some sources and was impressed by the information I was able to locate. Unfortunately, the one article I really wanted to read, about James Michener, seemed not to be available anymore. Must try to dig it up elsewhere, guess my scoop was broken....
Anyhow, that's my 23thing for this week, pretty pumped that I finally caught up. Looking forward to next week, but there's still 2 days here with March Break fever running rampant. Gotta find a hiding space quick.
