I think you have hit the proverbial nail on the head with your premise. Great post, I'll be curating this one for sure.<br><br>Brent MacKinnon I think Stephen Downes is the closest to an content curator that I know of.

Librarians and teachers contribute links to a library, with tags & descriptions, and can search other each others' links, including by name, grade level, and subject. The search is a little clunky at the moment but will be enhanced very shortly. The tool also allows you to use SweetSearch, our Google custom search engine that only searches 35,000 quality URLs, to find good links.

We spend a good chunk of time trawling the web, in addition to print sources, for information that we abstract, condense, and send directly to staff every week, and we post it on our site (http://library.sandiegozoo.org/news.htm). It makes the library a bit more prominent in the organization, and we can make sure everyone who works here is getting the newest, most relevant info to do their jobs.
