PINTEREST

摘要

Today's users have gone beyond simply browsing the Web and are using social media and other online tools to curate websites around various topics of interest. Content curation is the process of selecting, gathering, and presenting web content for targeted users or around particular subject areas such as business or science. It may be likened to collection development or creating for library patrons a list of select materials from a variety of online sources including blogs and video websites. Curating web content has become a popular activity among casual and intermediate web users, in part because of the simplicity of available tools. Pinterest is one such online tool that has fast become a top destination for collecting and sharing online content among general users and librarians alike.
