摘要:During the last year I have been working with an amazing group of librarians/writers on a book entitled Library Mashups: Explor-ing New Ways to Deliver Library Data [http://mashups.web2learning.net]. I men-tion this not as an advertisement (although it is nice to have some free advertising), but because it has been a fantastic collaborative learning experience for me. Before starting the book, I knew what a “mashup” is (a web application that uses content from more than one source to create a single new service displayed in a single graphical interface) and had even seen a few examples from libraries, but I had no idea the power of mashups for libraries – or what they were doing with these amazing new tools until I started reading this book.
