thanks Pikaluk for the photo from Flickr (except reading the conditions I find I shouldn't have "altered, transformed or built upon this work" - sorry, run out of time now to find a "no rights reserved photo"!)
Week 10 - Mashups.

BigHugeLabs looks fun, really.

I think Billboard and Slideshow functions could be used to promote upcoming library activities on a library web page or in a blog.

Mosaic could be a marketing "look what we did this year".

I decided to use a Flickr photo and the Warholizer, but had trouble finding one with "some rights reserved" - thus the end result.

My first thought had been to use our library photos, but even they had "all rights reserved".
Our team leader has produced a mashup of the mobile library stops using Google maps - a very useful product.

Podcasts and Audio:
Great. Time-shifting of radio programs, http://www.abc.net.au/services/podcasting/
access to the TV program I forgot to tape .... now, library applications?
Numerous I should think. Training, promotion, time-shifting of meetings for the library's part-time and casual workforce, storytime (vodcast of the craft activity, podcast of the story and songs), author talks, inclusion of remote clients, and then there are all the possibilities for client use, especially young adults (by the people, for the people), etc.
Revisiting the Library Success wiki http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page I have now bookmarked this too.
I think when I finish the course I might do a quick review of the units to consolidate an overview (unless, of course, that is what happens in week 12).
