Mash 'er' ups

There are mashups and then there's the mashup of the Best Sports Bars at which to watch the Super Bowl as ranked by Forbes Magazine. Locally, the article suggests that you can go to Looney's Pub in Canton. That's five star information in a tech savvy format.

As a library tool, I found two librarians making good use of a mashup to provide resources to users. The first librarian works in an academic library with a concentration in the Sciences. He used a mashup to provide a resource guide for undergraduates in chemistry and physics. The other librarian, working in a public library, used the mashup to provide the bestseller lists to users.
