Mashups

Mashups are a really creative way to display multiple pieces of information. At first I wasn't sure how this could be useful to libraries, I mean it's creative and it looks nice, but is it really useful?

After looking at other people's blog and reading their ideas - mashups could be great for local studies to put a picture of a local building or landmark on a map to give people more details - I think mashups are both very intersting and useful.

Podcasts

Podcasts are a really great way to open the library to people who may not visit it. There are so many uses for this technology - book reviews, events, activities ect. The opportunities are endless. One of the challenges would be to promote it enough so that people know that they can access the library this way.
