6. What is digital curation?
“…discovering, organizing,
and sharing relevant and
interesting content from
around the Web through
their social streams of
choice.” Brian Solis

7. What is digital curation?
“Curation is all about building
knowledge-based collections of
relevant and related content. This
activity can extend well beyond
ebooks, as curations can incorporate
other electronic media such as
images, articles, video, and
audio”
Andrew Roskill, Library Journal

8. Why curating new social
media?
- Promoting the library
- Showing off library expertise
- Explore and work together with
the library users
