ALA Annual 2008
- The Mashed-Up Library (OCLC Symposium) [Streaming video: 02:08:52]
Developing new library services can now mean mixing data and functionality from several sources into “mash-ups” to provide a unique and powerful user experience. Some librarians have discovered how to use Web applications to adapt or create new services. Others are investigating this trend and looking for further guidance. Still others have found creative ways to deliver traditional programs to new populations.
Join our keynote speaker, Michael Schrage, author of Shared Minds—The New Technologies of Collaboration and columnist for CIO and MIT's Technology Review, and our panel of three librarians who have developed their own mash-ups.
