April Meeting
April 2, 2009
Join us tomorrow, Friday April 3rd for the Technology Learning Community at 10:00 am room 2234. We will be discussing Mashups. Here is a definition:
A mashup is a Web application that combines data from one or more sources into a single integrated tool. The term Mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently done by access to open APIs and data sources to produce results that were not the original reason for producing the raw source data. An example of a mashup is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real estate data, thereby creating a new and distinct Web service that was not originally provided by either source.
We have some great examples and of special interest will be one that deals with citation data about authors.
Come join us for this excellent discussion.
Looking forward to what is coming up:
May 1: Stumble and other interesting web search tools
June 5: The RefWorks Vs. Zotero debate
July 10: Flicker
August 7: “To Do” Tools We All Use
Any questions, ideas, or things you would like to talk about – let me know.
