This unique book is geared to help
any
library keep its website dynamically and collaboratively up-to-date,
increase user participation, and provide exemplary web-based service
through the power of mashups.
Nicole C. Engard and 25 contributors
from
all over the world share definitions, tools, techniques, and real life
applications. Examples range from ways to allow those without
programming skills to make simple website updates, to modifying the
library OPAC, to using popular sites like Flickr, Yahoo!, LibraryThing,
Google Maps, and Delicious to share and combine digital content.
"Library Mashups is a great resource for anyone aspiring to
create cutting-edge library services. The book’s case studies
draw from the practical experiences of an impressive group of
forward-thinking professionals in the field."
— Raymond Yee, Ph.D., author,
