I finally have a great definition of today's buzz word, curation. And thanks to the rabbit trails I followed through this reading, I met Mark Moran and Corinne Weisgerber, and was directed once again to Buffy Hamilton's great Unquiet Librarian blog. 

According to Mark on Buffy's blog: “... curation” is more than recommending an occasional article that comes across your screen; it involves finding, evaluating and synthesizing a wide range of resources about a topic from around the world and across the ages that collectively convey a full understanding of it. It’s a very elegant form of “re-mixing.”

This slideshare document posits the business of curation within an education setting. Weisgerber and Butler lay out and discuss the steps, making the process very accessible. 

Did you know there is even a curation about curating? Of course there is. Check out Barbara Bray's Scoop.it topic. Ah-maz-ing. And an endless rabbit hole of discovery.
