Summary:The National School Library Standards define curation as the process of "making meaning for oneself and others by collecting, organizing, and sharing resources of personal relevance". This vision emphasizes a dynamic and collaborative process, one that happens in dialogue with educators and learners. In school library classes, students are often asked to complete some type of curation assignment to prepare them for this task. They might be asked to create pathfinders for research projects, thematic text sets in a materials course, or conduct a collection analysis that results in lists of materials to select and purchase for collections. However, these assignments often emphasize a product that is created by school librarians for educators and learners, rather than a collaborative process that school librarians do with educators and learners. Here, Spiering and Lechtenberg discuss approaches in the instruction of curation in the school library classes.
