This is my mashup. It's a movie poster.
I thought a mashup for new books and also a mashup for photos in local history would be good ideas for our library. I also did a search on Yahoo to see if I could find out what other libraries are using mashups for and found these.
Book Carousel – http://www.cambridgelibraries.ca/hot/carousel.cfm - using Book Covers to show newest books at their library. The content comes from Syndetics, but it could have been from Amazon as well.
McMaster Library - http://library.mcmaster.ca/maps/airphotos/1919.htm - did a Mashup of Google Maps and its collection of 5,000 aerial photos collection. The collection used to be something that patrons browsed in the library. Now patrons can find a location on the map and access the unique identfier for the photo.
Go-go Google Gadget – http://www.blyberg.net/2006/08/18/go-go-google-gadget/ - created gadgets to shows holds, checkouts, new books, what's popular on a patron's Google homepage.

Great poster and you have been busy. The sites you have discovered are all good - I spend quite a few distracted moments checking them out!
I've enjoyed reading all your posts - thank you!

That's a real sad title! It's imaginative.
I love the mashup activities and did a poster myself.
