Thing 6 - Mashups


I enjoyed playing with Montagr. I tried books, libraries and of course donkeys. I tried the Mosaic with the photos from our library remodel. I think it should prove more useful than the badge option for me. I am thinking it might be a good way to feature new book covers. But would this be copyright infringement? I looked over the trading cards and am always amused at the variety of librarians out there.

Using book covers would technically be a copyright violation, but I doubt that the publisher will complain as you are essentially advertising their product and they aren't being harmed financially.

Hi - I am interested in hearing about your library remodel. We are at the planning stage for remodeling my high school library and I would like to ask you some questions about your library. Could you email me at the address here on the comments page if you have time to do this? I would appreciate it.

I don't know if you found this while exploring Flickr, but another place to share library pics is in a Flickr group called 365 Days of Libraries. All kinds of libraries are sharing pictures of their buildings and activities. I want to do this as we remodel and create an online archive as it happens. I'm going to try Montagr too, as my Flickr badge won't open at school and has a big red VIOLATION! across it when I open my blog at school. At least I can still get to the blog.

Hoping to hear from you.
