A Practical Guide to Remixing the Library'
The reuse or "remix" of digital content continues to be a hot topics in web development. Not a day passes in which there is not some new "mashup" or novel combination of data or services. To the majority of users on the Web, however, mashups remain rather mysterious. Specifically, what does remixing have to do with libraries? This session is a practical tutorial geared to helping librarians learn how to use and deploy remixing strategies and technology to enhance the library experience. Although we will look at examples from both inside and outside the library world, we will focus on applying remix techniques to libraries. For instance, we will study what cutting edge developers are doing in recent library mashup competitions and the OCLC software competition, in addition to new services such as LibraryThing -- as well as such old chestnuts as Jon Udell's classic Library Lookup bookmarklet. (Of course, all the 2.0's (Web 2.0 Library 2.0, Book 2.0, etc.) will be mentioned in passing.) Don't worry if you don't have a lot of technical background -- a goal of this session is to make the technical aspects of remixing accessible to a general library audience.
