Summary:
"Abstract: ...considers curation as it is popularly applied to activities that leverage the power of social media to collect, organize, share, and interpret content to tell a digital story for a specific audience. It provides a snapshot of the state of digital curation using social media across libraryland and shares ideas from a few social media curation thought leaders slightly beyond the library community. It presents new models for practitioners. And it offers a springboard from which further exploration of these efforts can emerge and be studied."
