Good content is everywhere. In our digital world we are content rich, but quality poor. Good content surrounds us, but it begs to be collected, transformed, and shared. And who better to distill and dismantle it for the benefit of learning communities than today’s learning and development professional? Curation isn’t novel in itself, and there’s much to learn from the successes of others. News sites commonly curate stories adding their own analysis. Retailers and marketers crowdsource ideas from consumers. Businesses build curation strategies to leverage product reviews. Ready, Set, Curate shows you how to elevate the most important content from an endless sea of learning information and offers strategies to better connect with your audience. Using case studies and relevant examples, eight curation experts share tips and best practices for creating a curation strategy and collecting content that is relevant to your learning communities.

"The Future of Digital Data, Heritage and Curation in a More-than Human World critiques digital cultural heritage concepts, their application to data and develops new theories, curatorial practices and a more-than human museology for a contemporary and future world. Presenting a diverse range of case examples from around the globe, Cameron offers a critical and philosophical reflection on the ways in which digital cultural heritage is currently framed as societal data worth passing on to future generations in two distinct forms: digitally born and digitizations. Demonstrating that most perceptions of digital cultural heritage are distinctly western in nature, the book also examines the complicity of such heritage in climate change and environmental destruction and injustice. Going further still, the book theorizes the future of digital data, heritage, curation and the notion of the human in the context of the profusion of new types of societal data and production processes driven by the intensification of data economies and through the emergence of new technologies. In so doing, the book makes a case for the development of new types of heritage that comprise AI, automated systems, biological entities, infrastructures, minerals and chemicals - all of which have their own forms of agency, intelligence and cognition. The Future of Digital Data, Heritage and Curation is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums, archives, libraries, galleries, archaeology, cultural heritage management, information management, curatorial studies and digital humanities"--

This text might be rendered on a screen. It could appear on paper as well. I have written it using a computer. As you are reading this text, some thing is functioning as an interface. Although I do not know exactly what this thing is, I know for certain that there is some thing here, slipping your mind as you read this text. This knowledge and this slipping away is the subject of this book. This research project questioned the sustaining support of digital objects: it aimed to challenge the habitualisation towards digital devices, the forgetting of the physical interface that leads to the supposition of digital immateriality. By handling computers as absurd things that escape language, the author sought to position himself among these strange and aloof digital entities and their effects. Wahrscheinlich lesen Sie diesen Text auf einem Bildschirm. Möglicherweise aber auch in gedruckter Form, auf Papier. Geschrieben habe ich ihn auf einem Computer. Während Sie diesen Text lesen, fungiert etwas zwischen Ihnen und mir als Interface. Worum es sich bei diesem Etwas handelt, kann ich nicht genau wissen. Was ich jedoch sicher weiß, ist, dass dieses Etwas da ist und dass es sich Ihrer Aufmerksamkeit gerade entziehen muss, damit Sie diesen Text lesen können. Dieser Entzug und dieses Übersehen von Interfaces bilden den Gegenstand dieses Buchs. Es stellt die Frage nach dem tragenden Grund digitaler Objekte. Je selbstverständlicher digitale Geräte werden, desto unsichtbarer und körperloser scheinen sie zu werden. Desto plausibler wirkt die Behauptung digitaler Immaterialität. Indem er Computer als absurde, sich der Sprache entziehende Dinge umkreist, sucht der Autor nach einer Haltung zu ihren seltsam fremden Körpern und dem, was sie bewirken.
