Engard, Nicole C. (ed) Library mashups : exploring new ways to deliver library data. Medford, N.J. : Information Today, 2009.

Mashups are web applications that combine freely available data from various sources to create something new. This book looks at tools, techniques and real life applications of mashups in libraries. Examples range from ways to allow those without programming skills to make simple website updates to modifying the library OPAC, to using popular sites like Flickr, Yahoo!, LibraryThing, Google Maps and Delicious to share and combine digital content.
