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.

Recent lawsuits filed against YouTube (see: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6095736.html ; http://nymag.com/news/media/30021/ ) show that copyright issues and public community sites is a big deal. This is an important issue for everyone to understand and so for our next Technology Learning Community on July 11th at 2:00 pm in room 2233 Carl Johnson from the copyright office is going to present to us some research he has previously presented at a national conference on internet copyright issues. This will be a fascinating presentation and a great opportunity to ask an expert questions so please join us for this very important discussion.
