Content creation is no longer the exclusive domain of journalists, newspapers and advertisers. As Clay Shirky has famously pointed out, publishing is no longer a job or an industry; it’s a button. In fact, we are all creating content, as originators or commentators, which is then shared and re-shared many times over.
Relevant and decision-ready information is becoming a valuable commodity in its own right, and many organizations are beginning to appreciate the roles and skills of people who understand the specific information needs of their information consumers and can provide it in a timely and effective manner.
Effective curation requires technology and tools to find, filter and validate content at the speed of the real-time web. It requires knowledge domain experts who can interpret and add insight to the content they are harvesting. It needs people who can utilise the power of networks and networking to source relevant and reliable information. In short, these are the essential skills of the 21st Century knowledge worker.
TFPL have arranged for a one day interactive workshop to take place on the 20th June in London which will cover:
• What is content curation and what are the key skills?
• Content curation good practice
• Finding, filtering and evaluating relevant information
• The disciplines of assembling and organizing information
• The power of networks and networking
• Adding value to curated content
• Attribution and copyright
• Pros and cons of various content curation tools and services
• Curated lists, social bookmarking, signposting.
• Creating a practice toolkit to support on-going personal and professional development of the Content Curator.
TFPL are offering this course at a discounted rate of £305 +VAT per person, hurry to book your place as spaces at this price are limited.
