Tools valuable for digital curation require the ability to tag and categorize in order to make filtering and searching easy. Furthermore, sharing options and integrative features are a growing necessity these days. I started using tools for digital curation a few years ago, but now I see there are better tools and add-ons to help with efficient and effective curation – now it is easier to implement a direct migration of material (from one's browser, desktop, etc.) for curation and filing. Yet, although making changes to one’s filing and curating system sounds like it should be easy, for me, redesigning my process for curating is a bit like trading up on a vehicle and hoping the wheels don't fall off in the process.
To help me visualize my digital workflow, I have created the following Gliffy. This visual clearly illustrates that I spend a great deal of time creating, and not enough time curating… I think. What do you think?
