Mashing it Up


I created a simple Mashup from the MRL Flickr Account. Nothing spectacular, but it got the job done.

What i would love to see implemented on out Library website is a Mashup that incorporates our local history photos and Google Maps. It has already been done for major cities around the world and is quite remarkable when one goes through and looks at the familliar places within their town/city and can view images of how that landmark used to look, or what building existed before. as the world is constantly evolving it is wonderful to create such timelines that show different periods through time by location.

Now i'm bringing myself back to reality which tells me that i cannot possibly code something that complex within a realistic timeframe, and what i want to implement is a remarkable resource now, but by the time it reaches library services around the country and the world it will be a more mainstream practice.
