Mashups

Fantastic! I love the London: a life in Google maps, just brilliant. I can see a great use for this sort of application in the library. My library has a fantastic number of local history photos in our collection. We could create web tours using the photos and google maps. We could podcast from our oral collection to compliment the experience. It could be done online or visitors to the area could take a tour using this information in a portable format. Mashups look like a way of pulling the best information or images from the best sources and putting them together in an accessable format...sounds like librarianship to me : >
