Yesterday one of my favourite bloggers/tweeters/curators Maria Popova announced a new initiative called The Curator’s Code as a method to standardise the way in which we attribute discoveries made when we re-distribute via the usual channels of twitter and blogs.
The code proposes the use of two shorthand codes: ᔥ – indicates a via: a direct link of discovery ↬ – indicates a hat-tip: an indirect link of discovery There are a few things I’d like to discuss first before trying to ascertain whether this is a good idea.

School librarians everywhere are interested in the same things, so I was pleasee to be able to contribute to an issue focused on Content Curation.

Searching for content requires wise information literacy strategies and tools (embedded in the curriculum learning processes) to avoid being lost in the information labyrinth. Right on time to match the thinking time were two very different but interesting items which arrived in my Facebook and RSS feeds. Home.
