Content curation focuses on gathering and assembling information into a manageable collection. Museums have content curators that prepare collections for the public viewing, but content curation can also refer to digital organization or digital curation. Information available online can become overwhelming without some type of document control, and various technological tools and platforms are available to organize the material on the internet. Content curation is a mixture of personal and technological monitoring (Herther 31), and a person that does this activity is called a content curator. Examples of content curation tools that a content curator could use are Google News, Storify, and Trapit.
