CFP: Internet Librarian Conference
CFP: Internet Librarian 2006
Monterey, CA • October 23-25, 2006
Monterey Conference Center
Deadline: March 22, 2006
Integrated Experiences: Compelling Content Combinations
Wikipedia defines “mash-up” as a Web site or Web application that seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience. Since Internet librarians aim to do just that for their clients, it is a fitting theme for Information Today’s 10th Internet Librarian. This year’s conference focuses on the challenges as well as the leading-edge solutions for balancing content access and client demands for an integrated experience. If Internet librarians want to have an impact on their organizations and communities, they must create mash-ups. As the San Francisco Chronicle puts it, “Take a pinch of Yahoo or Google. Then stir in some census data, photographs or crime statistics. What you get is a mash-up.” Combining ingredients from different online sources to create hybrids is a hot Internet phenomenon, especially when map or demographic information and a variety of feeds are used.
