In teaching more “traditional” bibliographic instruction sessions for first year students and for history majors, I teach hands-on by showing students how to engage with the research process.

Improving Presentation Workflow

To keep an engine humming and running smoothly, a mechanic needs the right tools in his toolkit. Presenters, who want to design “Presentations That Sing”, need to have the “right” tools as well.

A Makerspace Takes Over A Local Library

"Makerspaces just might take over libraries. School of Information Studies professor Dave Lankes seems to think so. In his presentation to New York State librarians earlier this month, he asked the roomful of librarians to imagine libraries as places for people to learn and create, not consume and check out. In another talk he gave in October, he declared, “What will kill our profession is not ebooks, Amazon, or Google, but a lack of imagination.”

What’s a Makerspace?
So what’s a makerspace? Also called a hackerspace, a backspace, or a hacklab, it’s any sort of creative space where people gather to make stuff and share ideas about making stuff. These labs, often equipped with tools and materials, allow users to practice a 21st-century sort of DIY. Hackerspaces.org, a wiki connecting makerspaces around the world, defines them as “community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects.” The ideas behind makerspaces—community-driven, open-access, shared resources and tools, knowledge sharing—make them a natural fit for a library community..."

Where Curation Tools and Curators Fail: Credit Attribution and Verification

WebProNews interviewed Kate Brodock, the Executive Director of Digital and Social Media at Syracuse University about critical elements of successful content curation on the web. 

 

From her replies:

"People or organizations tend to falter in two areas.

 

a) In the verification process

b) when they should be giving proper attribution to the original content creator.

These two areas need special attention.”

 

...proper attribution of the original content creator is very important.

 

There are many ways to do this on various platforms, and there are generally recognized “best practices” that people use.

 

If you neglect the attribution part of the equation, this is when you get into sticky situations (no matter what your expert lawyer has told you).

 

...It pays to take a look at how each platform handles this aspect of curation and make sure you’re dotting your “I”s and crossing your ‘t’s.”

 

Right on the mark. 8/10

La ‘curación de contenidos’, su verdadero significado

‘Curación’ es un término que aunque pudiera resultar extraño para hablar en castellano, ya que se recoge de la expresión inglesa ‘content curation’ o ‘ content curator’, es una palabra que la hemos heredado del latín ‘curare’ que significa curar, cuidar o preocuparse. Por tanto, se trata de un concepto que emana justamente los valores que se le quiere dar a esta nueva fórmula de entender la comunicación.

LA NECESIDAD DE UN CAMBIO EN LA RED

UN PROCESO DIVIDIO EN ETAPAS

LOS MODOS DE HACER LA ‘CURACIÓN DE CONTENIDOS’

Real-Time News Curation Is The New Strategy at BBC | Nieman Lab

Move over, auto-tweets: This week, the BBC has switched its @BBCNews Twitter feed to all-human curation. (One small step for a news feed; one giant leap for newsfeedkind.)

 

It’s a lot like the experiment The New York Times tried with human Twitter curation this spring…except that it’s not an experiment. It’s a new strategy. One that involves, at the moment, a team of four people working across three core Twitter feeds — @BBCNews, @BBCBreaking, and @BBCWorld.

 

“We want to be tweeting with value,” Chris Hamilton, BBC News’ social media editor, told me of the move....
