Mashed Libraries UK 2008

From Mashedlibrary

Mashed Libraries UK 2008 took place on the 27th November 2008 at Birkbeck College, London. You can see photos from the event at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/mashlib08/, and there are a number of write-ups from attendees, including:

• Paul Walk
• Andy McGregor
• Jo Alcock
• Clari Hunt
• Richard Wallis (Panlibus)
• Tony Hirst
• Edith Speller
• Chris Keene
• Paul Stainthorp (also see Paul's live blog from the day)

There is also a write up available from the organiser (he may be biased) - which may contain some useful thoughts for anyone wanting to organise a similar event in the future. Library Journal has a piece (thanks to Roy Tennant, who provided some advice/pointers before the event), and FRBR.org (William Denton) also mentions it. Finally, you might enjoy the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLjzM-NLz4U

The tag for the event was mashlib08 if you want to search for posts, tweets, photos etc.

With 30 years of close engagement with libraries, UKOLN was pleased to sponsor Mashed Libraries UK 2008.
