Synopsis

Building on her highly successful Library Mashups (2009), Nicole Engard edits a useful collection of articles that detail the ways that libraries of all sizes can use and combine free or inexpensive digital tools to create a better library experience for all. Programmers and non-programmers alike will find this book a valuable source of inspiration for how to update library websites and connect catalog data. Specific ideas include using google maps to visualize data, using Twitter to search library databases and using Drupal to build a better library calendar.

About this title

Review

More Library Mashups is essential reading for staff in all libraries offering web-based services - and isn't that everyone? It does not just focus on the projects presented but inspires the reader to apply the resources available in new ways, and this makes it a truly valuable book - and you do not have to be a computer geek to use it.  (Helen Dunford Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association)
