By Jonathan Shaw, cover article, Harvard Magazine, May-June 2010. An excellent analysis of a great variety of changes that web 2.0, digitization, and Google (and other search engines) are bringing to 21st century academic libraries, their evolving faculty, and their "born digital" students.
Other quotes from subsequent pages: "For libraries and librarians, the new premium on skills they have long cultivated as curators, preservers, and retrievers of collective knowledge puts them squarely on top of an information geyser in the sciences that could reshape medicine."
"'It's not that we don't need libraries or librarians," he continues, "it's that what we need them for is slightly different. We need them to be guides in this increasingly complex world of information and we need them to convey skills that most kids actually aren't getting at early ages in their education. I think librarians need to get in front of this mob and call it a parade, to actually help shape it.'"-
“Who has the most scientific knowledge of large-scale organization, collection, and access to information? Librarians,”
-
That’s a vision of librarians as specialists in organizing and accessing and preserving information in multiple media forms, rather than as curators of collections of books, maps, or posters.”

By Clinton Forry in Content-ment (blog) November 10 2009. Forry distinguishes between content aggregation (using automation to pull together all information on a particular topic/set of metadata) and content curation, which includes an editorial voice and curation strategy. The comments (and Forry's responses) are also helpful.

from the article: "Curated content allows users to be more selective about the content they choose to read. You could find it all on your own, but what for? Your time is valuable so why not let others guide your search."-
curated content can guide a reader’s interest, while conveying important information.

A summary of a recent series of articles on content curation from the blog PersonaNonData by Information Media Partners (Michael Cairns). Summary posted August 17 2010. In the last post of this series, the author (citing an article in Harvard Magazine) brings the idea of curation back to librarians. See highlights below.
-
the practice of curation is not a new one as any librarian, or television program director or editor could attest
-
librarians may retain specific skills that bridge the gap between the generic content where 'everything carries the same weight' and a 'consciously curated and controlled artifact' managed to the benefit of a librarian's constituency
