Mashups


This was fun. All the photos of the flowers were taken during a family holiday in the Snowy Mountains at Christmas time, the spider photo was taken late one night in our garden.

I played around with Warholizer, Palette Generator, Bead Art and a few others.
Any mashup with local maps combined with numerous other information would find its use in the library. One thing I liked the most was Voicethread - both for personal and library collections. Wouldn't it be marvelous if we could hear all those stories, especially if it is from the people themselves.
Links to virtual tourism sites could come useful at the reference desk. However, there are quite a few websites promoting tourist destinations, and it would be up to the users and librarians to choose the best ones.
