I’m trying to put together the most comprehensive list I can of ways in which academics curate information as part of their usual core duties. However I’m struggling slightly and what I have below doesn’t seem comprehensive:
– producing a reading list for an upcoming writing project
– produce a reading list for a module or course
– collating articles you might like to blog about or share on twitter
– collecting academic resources for external groups
– keeping track of media coverage of your work
– keeping track of engagements with your work
– maintaining a list of your publication
Does anyone have any other examples? I’ll say thanks in a footnote in the book! Also if anyone has any examples of how they’ve performed these tasks that would be really helpful. The chapter is about notebook tools (e.g Evernote) and curation tools (e.g. Pinterest) but I’m keen to frame these in terms of other options e.g. e-mailing them to yourself (which I still do a lot) or writing them in a text file or word document.
