- 13. Why curation ? “ Curation comes up when search stops working. But it ’ s more than a human-powered filter. Curation comes up when people realize that it isn ’ t just about information seeking, it ’ s also about synchronizing a community. Part of the reason that human curation is so critical is simply the vast number of people who are now making and sharing media. Everyone is a media outlet. ” Blogger, author, and NYU professor Clay Shirky, quoted in Mashable http://mashable.com/2010/05/03/content-curation-creation/

- This doesn ’t sound so different but emphasize: the librarian ’s responsibility to connect library users electronically to resources outside the physical library, and the collaborative nature of developing a “collection” August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Media Programs (ALA, c2009) are the national guidelines developed by the Am. Assn. of School Librarians based on the Standards for the 21 st Century Learner. For more info go to: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/guidelinesandstandards.cfm August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- PRINT – There are many types and formats of books, such as paperbacks, graphic novels, board books for babies, picture books and reference, etc. DIGITAL/ELECTRONIC – We will look at some content and tool-based web sites on the next slide EQUIPMENT - Librarians need to embrace the idea that we must advocate for our students or library patrons for access not just to print and electronic resources but also to the equipment needed to manipulate and create information and knowledge. Libraries are the great equalizers. Not all families can afford computers and the technologies students will need to learn now and in the future. OTHER – Librarians can connect patrons, teachers and students to local resources which may require a physical visit (field trip) or a virtual tour via the Internet. Student-created websites, videos and other work can also be collected as a resources and made available/accessible through the library. Free or locally produced distance learning modules can be collected as well if they are applicable to what needs to be collected. A collection development policy that analyzes the needs of the school or public library and its students or library patrons should drive what is collected.

- Descriptions from AASL Best Websites lists http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/bestlist/bestwebsites.cfm Animoto Create a video in five minutes – no kidding! Using Animoto, educators and students can create videos that contain photos, graphics, music, text and more! It is only limited by your imagination. Glogster Remember the old the poster board presentations? Well, they are now digital, motivating and very visually exciting. Use these digital posters to create a book review, an interactive front page for a wiki, an innovative topic exploration or any other demonstration of learning using video, graphics, text, etc. Jing Do you need to quickly snap a picture of your screen or record a video of an onscreen action? Jing is the solution; it's free software that adds visuals to your online conversations. Include it in an email, Website, or IM. Wikispaces This is the quintessential collaborative tool! This easy-to-use website allows anyone to write, edit and share content, depending on the permissions granted by the wiki owner. Tip: Students can use a wiki as a research journal, documenting their progress from beginning questions to finished products, as they receive feedback directly on the wiki from their classroom teacher and librarian.

- Usually a digital collection is focused on a specific subject or topic, like Shakespeare or mammals, but can also be specific to a class assignment, club or extracurricular, or for a specific group of students or library users, such as science fair participants. August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Students and other library users can also be digital curators who have expertise in a subject. For example, a student who is knowledgeable in manga or graphic novels could select web sites, recommend books in the library collection or elsewhere, and local bookstores that sell such titles. This information could be “curated” and presented digitally in an electronic “pathfinder” or LibGuide. August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop

- Library users, including students, teachers, and public library patrons, expect anywhere and anytime access to resources. If libraries and librarians don ’t provide it, they will go elsewhere. To be fully engaged in 21 st century learning, librarians need to change their practice and fully utilize the power of digital learning, tools and resources. August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- This is just one of many traditional collection development models that is usually articulated in a written collection development policy. Let ’s look at the pieces of this “pie” and discuss how tradition collection development and digital collection curation are similar or different. August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Group Discussion Slide – Ask participants to think about this aspect of collection development in terms of digital resources. Traditionally, in determining the needs for the collection, we consider the library ’s mission, its users (library patrons, students, teachers, etc.) and their needs. Is that any different when we curate digital collections? August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Group Discussion Slide – Ask participants to think about this aspect of collection development in terms of digital resources. The 2010-11 PDE/Commonwealth Libraries Professional Development Workshop “Collection Evaluation” taught school librarians to analysis usage statistics for mostly print materials. Does use of print resources predict use of digital resources? How do you collect data on usage of digital resources? POWER Library database statistics are collected by library and by database. You cannot get subject level analysis, but you can get them by vendor, # of logins, # of searches executed, and # of items examined by month. (A file in WJ has directions on how to do this.) Your tech support staff can also set up page counters on your library ’s webpages to get an idea of how many people are using specific resources. Who does collection assessment in the digital world? Other issues? August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Group Discussion Slide – Ask participants to think about this aspect of collection development in terms of digital resources. What factors might be different in selecting digital resources than print resources? Do digital resources age? Must they be weeded from our “collection”? Librarians need to know the universe of print and digital content, as well as digital tools to use and teach others. However since the universe of resources and tools is so large with the ever-changing Internet, we need to share that role with others. This enhances the librarian ’s role as collaborator in collection development and instruction. Librarians who are largely “control freaks” need to let others be the selectors and creators. We need to be teaching and coaching others to be the selectors and producers. And, we in turn will learn from others. This results in the true “learning commons.” August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Group Discussion Slide – Ask participants to think about this aspect of collection development in terms of digital resources. Budget – Many digital resources can be curated freely from the Internet. Having said that, always request permission if it is not stated on the site. Be sure that you recognize and use “creative commons” licenses - a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions so that others know the level of reuse which may include distributing, remixing, tweaking, and building upon someone’s original work, even commercially, as long as you give credit to the original creation. Ordering/acquiring – free vs licensed (LibGuides is a licensed product.) Available vs accessible Filtering and blocked access – The webliography for this workshop includes AASL ’s Position statements on this topic. Librarians need to work with tech support staff, administrators and other decision makers to demonstrate the educational uses of Web 2.0 communication and presentation tools. As money gets tighter in budgets, now is a good time to promote free web-based tools. August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Group Discussion Slide – Ask participants to think about this aspect of collection development in terms of digital resources. Students today are visual and digital learners. Show the difference between the IPL2 site for Work & Money Sites for Teens and the Only2Clicks version. The role/purpose of the library website - Selecting a “parking lot” or “sand box” such as LibGuides How do you teach and promote virtually? August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Quote from Gwyneth Anne Jones, who works as a teacher-librarian in Laurel, Md. And is known as the Daring Librarian in her blog (http://www.thedaringlibrarian.com)--also one of the Library Journal ’s Movers & Shakers of 2011, responding to a interview question. We as librarians need to create a personal and virtual presence on our library websites. The public and those we work with and for need to see our contributions. Librarians tend to be reticent about posting photos, their professional accomplishments, their contact info, or interests on library websites. If we don ’t advertise our expertise, no one else will do it for us. Additionally, the practice of criticizing colleagues because they do promote their expertise needs to stop. We need to encourage and celebrate the successes of each other! When the going gets tough, don’t circle the wagon and shoot in at each other! [Deb Kachel will now get off her bandwagon! ] August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- Pathfinders, a concept from the 1970s, are guides intended to help library users get started doing research on a particular topic. They used to be created as photocopied handouts. Since the Internet, they have been created as Word and html files to include websites as well as sources from the local library. IPL2, formerly the Internet Public Library site, has simple pathfinders of web links. Check them out at http://www.ipl.org/div/pf/. Show the Fairy Tales IPL2 site. LibGuides are like pathfinders 2.0. They are more graphical, can embed audio, video and other html code, and have multiple pages (tabs across the top)—show the Georgia Peach site. August 15, 2011 Digital Collection Development Workshop
- For example, on the “Spartan Guide” developed by Joyce Valenza for her Springfield Township High School called “Databases and Pathfinders” identify: tabs representing added pages subpages (a dropdown list from a tab) boxes of “content” - Scroll down where Joyce has added text on Evaluating Databases to help guide students.
