Curator
Curator responsibilities[edit] In smaller organizations, a curator may have sole responsibility for the acquisition and care of objects. The curator will make decisions regarding what objects to take, oversee their potential and documentations, conduct research based on the collection and history that provides proper packaging of art for transportation, and shares that research with the public and community through exhibitions and publications. In very small volunteer-based museums, such as local historical societies, a curator may be the only paid staff member. In larger institutions, the curator's primary function is as a subject specialist, with the expectation that he or she will conduct original research on objects and guide the organization in its collecting. Such institutions can have multiple curators, each assigned to a specific collecting area (e.g., Curator of Ancient Art, Curator of Prints and Drawings, etc.) and often operating under the direction of a head curator.

Le Cloud d'après Mindmeister. Seuls les gens désordonnés savent le calvaire qu'ils vivent au quotidien. Ces numéros de téléphone griffonnés sur des tickets de caisse. Ces notes d'une importance capitale disséminées dans une brouettée de feuilles volantes. Ce bureau dont l'aspect général évoque plus volontiers une décharge qu'un environnement de travail rationnel. Autant de symptômes de la brouillonnite aiguë. Si le mal est souvent incurable, il existe heureusement des palliatifs.

9 content curation tools that better organise the web
Content curation is a huge deal on the web today. As content on the web grows exponentially, our ability to make sense of it is inversely proportional.

According to Facebook, 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news blogs etc) are shared each month on the social network, with no sign of slowing.

SXSW blog, day three: Meet the curators
A TWEET that recently got quite a bit of traction (over 100 retweets), including among the SXSW audience, was this one: @robinsloan The way to cover big news in 2011 is not "here's what happened."

A Few Good Pinterest Tools, Tips, and Resources
Back in January, I wrote a post about Pinterest as a curation tool to organize and share visual content I’ve collected in a pleasing visual way. As the platform has evolved over the past few months, there are some other benefits including driving traffic and conversions and more recently how pinning helps encourage audiences to “like” the brand more. I’ve be facilitating a few introductory workshops and briefings about Pinterest for nonprofits with a goal of explaining it, what it does, benefits, and examples of how nonprofits and others are using it. I’ve been actively curating tools, research, and tips and have found some great ones that I’m sharing sharing below. Source Convince and Convert 1. If you’re just starting to think about adding Pinterest to your content strategy or if you jumped in before you had a strategy, you can do this type of questioning on the front end, perhaps coming up with a small experiment that supports an overall goal and a measurement strategy. 2. 3. 4.
