Does your library have mash-ups (and I’m not talking about the potato kind of mash-ups)? If you want to learn more about mash-ups, especially relating to library services (where you mix data and functionality from several sources to create new services), you want to attend the FREE OCLC Symposium that will be held at ALA’s Annual Conference in Anaheim. Did I already mention that it is free?

Scheduled for Friday, June 27, the symposium will take place at the Marriott Anaheim, Platinum Ballroom 1-5 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. OCLC’s symposia are usually well worth the time! (Our own Stacey Aldrich was a speaker at one several years ago.)

The keynote speaker will be Michael Schrage, author of Shared Minds – The New Technologies of Collaboration. There will also be a panel of three librarians, all of whom have developed their own mash-ups. They will be Susan Gibbons (Univ. of Rochester (NY) River Campus Libraries), David Lee King (Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library) and Mary Beth Sancomb-Moran (Univ. of Minnesota, Rochester).

Register here to attend this meeting! I’ll see you at the symposium on June 27.
