I think that using curation services such as Scoop.it and LibGuides is certainly an interesting way to go about searching. With the myriad of information out there today, Google just isn’t sufficient to efficiently research a topic in depth such as autism, as your class did. Another emerging trend out there is search curation, in which users search like a normal search engine for a topic, but filter and organize results in real-time. Such an example of it is Zakta’s SearchTeam, a collaborative search and curation tool. With search curation, one can not only build their own personalized results (unlike Scoop.it or LibGuides can do), but one can also share his or her results to the bigger community or with a group of friends. One thing is clear: curation is the future of search.
