Mashups



It was very hard decision to choose from Big huge labs to create a mashup, I have to do a few to find out which one looks right with my own photos, finally this one looks ok, it's not perfect, as long as I got some idea how to create a mashup, anyway it was fun, so exciting to wait for how it looks like.

With calender mashup we can use it as a flyer for Library school holiday activities, list specific activity on the appropriate date of the calender and for patron to take.

I would think of a Library online Catalogue could mashup with LibraryThing. When patron use library online catalogue, also will be able find new books to read by similar authors or topics, able to rate and review books in the catalogue, interact with other patron who enjoy the same reading interests etc.

Keir Clarke's star view is quite interesting, must have taken heaps of time to do the work. You click a star , you get to see a video, each video has different star name.The Google Maps API lets you embed Google maps in your own web pages. We can use it mashup with The Council web page to get step-by-step driving directions to show patron how to get to the library, and street view to find restaurants for lunch.
