Content Curation: Beyond the Institutional Repository and Library Archives - Personal Knowledge Management for Academia & Librarians If you are an academic librarian, you have been hearing about Data Curation, Content Curation, Information Curation or Digital Curation for years. And the terms can be applied in several different ways. There are the curation activities surrounding purchased library materials and the curation of faculty and student items (like theses and dissertations for example). The Digital Curation Centre defines the concept for us: “Digital curation involves maintaining, preserving and adding value to digital research data throughout its lifecycle.” There are numerous questions, policies, issues and opportunities in all the various curation activities in libraries today, but I would like to turn our attention to the topic of Content Curation beyond the repository and archive doors.

I found a picture of one on a food blog, posted it on Neatorama.com, and from there the cherpumple went viral. Clay Shirky put it simply: “It’s not information overload. I have two jobs. Blogging has been around for more than a decade, and librarians have become active and prolific bloggers. It’s harder than you might think. To accomplish this feat, I rely heavily on a RSS reader with over 500 new items daily. Does all of this sound familiar? I’ve noticed that my mental habits and thought processes as a librarian have served me well as a content curator. Keep in mind that content curation is not all Millennium Falcon apple pies and Judge Judy cross stitch samplers. If you’re thinking about breaking into this business, it’d be a good idea to get some direct experience first to show prospective employers that you have the necessary skill set.

The Content Strategist as Digital Curator The term “curate” is the interactive world’s new buzzword. During content creation and governance discussions, client pitches and creative brainstorms, I’ve watched this word gain traction at almost warp speed. As a transplant from museums and libraries into interactive media, I can’t help but ask what is it about this word that deserves redefinition for the web? Article Continues Below Curation has a distinguished history in cultural institutions. For a long time, we’ve considered digital objects such as articles, slideshows, and video to be short-lived. Consider some examples: NYTimes.com Topics employs content managers who sift through The Times’ archive to create new meaning by grouping articles and resources that were filed away (or distributed to library databases).

Frequent, Regular Automation For many people, social media curation includes an element of automation--which is ironic since it seems to me automation is the opposite of curation (feel free to argue with me on those semantics). I am not a proponent of this method for a couple of reasons. 2) it's unrealistic. This is what I call link spraying. Not so fast.
Content Curation and the Interest Graph: Delivering Context to the Consumer In December, an article I wrote "Content Is King, But Distribution Is Queen and She Wears the Pants" was nominated and won an end-of-the-year contest for the best content marketing post of 2013. The contest was run by a new startup called ShareBloc, a new content distribution platform for professionals to share and curate content. The original post identified the growing problem of content saturation on the Internet. Looking back on the merits of ShareBloc's contest, I'd add an addendum to that winning post: Consumers who are good at content curation will benefit the most from marketers deploying distribution strategies. The Interest Graph When Twitter first became popularized in 2006 no one knew what an interest graph was. One compelling force driving consumers to social media platforms — whether they know it or not — is that there's too much content on the Internet.
