I’m speaking at a one-day cpd25 event on ‘Mashups And Libraries‘ at Goldsmiths, University of London, on Wednesday, 13 April 2011. cpd25 is a ‘Staff Development and Training Organisation working in association with the M25 Consortium of Academic Libraries‘ in the south-east of England.
The event costs £45 for cpd25 members (£65 for non-members). I’ll be talking/demoing/guiding people in using Yahoo! Pipes and Google spreadsheets for library mashups.
From the cpd25 website:
This event will give you an overview of mashups from some of the experts, relating mashups to the Library setting. Then in the afternoon you can have a go at creating your own mashups.What are Mashups?
They are web applications that combine freely available data from various sources to create something new and potentially more useful into a single tool. They can be a very powerful way to meet our user’s varied expectations and provide excellent web-based services adding value to library websites and library catalogues. They can also allow libraries to promote Library services where the users are.
