Today I found the most wonderful mashup through a quick search on Programmable Web. I found it by browsing the reference category. I suppose the word, FREE, caught my eye. The site is called Librarian Chick; and it’s site where you can search for free audiobooks, eBooks, and educational resources using the Google Ajax Search. I was very excited to find out about this resource, which has an incredible number of links to web sites that I’d never even heard of. I could have used this when I was subbing at my local public library branch yesterday. Someone came in looking for an audiobook of Midsummer’s Night Dream, but it was checked out. I did a search on Librarian Chick’s site and found various versions of this play for FREE! I even saw some medical library resources while I was browsing. This a a wonderful way to use this technology. And I like the fact that it seems pretty easy to be able to create a mashup. On another note, I think it’s great that people are creating mashups of PubMed/MEDLINE data. These mashups are a good way that the users themselves can get in on the action to create a tool that brings them the information they want in the way they want it.
