From Booklist
Editor Engard assembles 21 articles from 25 international contributors to focus 
on mashups within the library environment. Readers with little knowledge of 
mashups will find chapters such as “What Is a Mashup?” and “Behind the Scenes: 
Some Technical Details on Mashups” especially helpful. Other portions of this 
book cover topics such as mashups in library Web sites, mashups of catalog data, 
and mashups and media (e.g., photos). Technical details should not overwhelm 
non-techies. Plenty of screenshots aid in comprehension, although a few seem too 
small to read easily. One strength of this title is the emphasis on experiences 
in actual libraries, for example, mashup integration at the Manchester City (NH) 
Library. One weakness is that little attention is given to mashup accessibility 
for people with disabilities. A timely and useful resource for those keen on 
this fairly new technology. --Stephen Fadel"
