Sessions at Confab 2012 about Curation on Tuesday 15th May

Now that the initial hype around content curation has died down, let’s get real. Erin Kissane will lead a conversation about practice and theory with a group of people involved in different aspects of the work. They’ll discuss:

• the challenges of curation/aggregation/anthologizing as a whole (by users and by editor-curators)
• the value for readers, content creators, and the curators themselves (and the organizations they represent)
• the responsibilities of curators and aggregators (to readers and to content creators)
• common myths about curation (it’s easy, it’s piratical, etc.)
• the specific challenges of creating tools and systems for filtering and curation
