Scoop.it! is a great tool for staying current on library issues, finding out about libraries in the news, books in the news, new technologies or ideas for innovative programs and services.
I am more of a consumer on Scoop.it! than a sharer (hmm...like Twitter. This seems to be a trend for me). Some of my favourite Scoop.it! pages I keep bookmarked (and they're all curated by NBPLS librarians!):
AboriginalLinks - LiensAutochtones - Patricia's links related to Aboriginals
LibraryLinks - LiensBiblio - Robin's links for library staff
ProfessionalDevelopment - PerfecionnementProfessionnel - Robin's links about skills for information professionals
Bibliolecture - Michelle's links for library staff
Bibliotheque et Techno - Patrick's links about libraries and information technology
When our Electronic Library first went live and new ereaders were being cranked out faster than you could keep up with and publishers were trying to peg down an ebook lending model (not that that isn't still happening), I curated a Scoop.it! page about ereading. It was time consuming and I stopped doing it about a year ago, but I still follow other ereading Scoop.it! accounts like this one to stay current.
