A mashup, according to wikipedia is:

“website or Web 2.0 application that uses content from more than one source to create a completely new service”

I just read about the Talis Library Mashups Competition on EdTechPost. The winner of the mashup competition was Go Go Google gadget (!) which takes data from a library catalogue and feeds into a Google personalised home, for example your currently checked out items and the ‘hottest items’ in the catalogue.

This follows on nicely from some of the presentations and discussion at the recent ALISS conference.
