Before talking about these items we will have a guest speaker Chanitra Bishop who will be talking about how technology is being used in the Information Commons.

We will take a few minutes to talk some more about the Mashup assignment. In taking a look at the maps that were created there were a few things that I did not communicate very well and want to clear up any confusing that may exist.

The social networking portion of the class will include a brief discussion about libraries using sites to communicate with patrons. We will split up into three different groups and each group will use either facebook, ning, or myspace to create a group for the class.

After creating a social networking group we will start to explore social bookmarking websites. Each person will be randomly assigned one of the following social bookmarking websites:

During class we will briefly take a look at some mashups and discuss their different components. Each person will randomly select one of the following mashups to explore:

Placeopedia – http://www.placeopedia.com/
Biowizard – http://www.biowizard.com
GovTrack http://www.govtrack.us
Chicago crime data – http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime/
Berkeley-area Doctors – http://www.chaddickerson.com/mashups/doctors/
PubWindows – http://www.neurotransmitter.net/pubmed_browser.php?topheight=40
Find Pollution – http://www.findpollution.org

After discussing mashups we will create a map using Google Maps and then begin to work on the mashup assignment. You can view a map that I created giving people walking directions from the IU Foundation to the Herman B Wells library.

After creating a map you will than incorporate it into your mashup. Earlier this week we created an HTML page to contain either the zoho or meebo chat widget. You will use this webpage to create your mashup. Please see the syllabus for information.

The Mashup assignment that we will be doing next week will need to include this chat widget.
