Mashups

Mashups are so much fun! I had a bit of a play around with some of the applications Big Huge Labs offer and here is one of my creations:



















The mashup applications available through Big Huge Labs can be used to create promotional material and also add interest to images that you post on library webpages.

Podcasts

During Law Week we had a local magistrate visit the library to talk about legal issues that may affect teenagers. We invited the local high schools to come hear him speak but some classes were unable to make it. We did record one of the sessions for those who were unable to attend and had to supply them with a taped recording. If we utilised podcasts we could post the recording on our website and allow access to a far greater audience than the one class who was supplied with a tape. Not only would people be able to see the guest speakers that we host in the library, they would also be able to listen to what was said if they were unable to attend the event. I think podcasts could be a great marketing tool and information resource to include in our webpage.
