I made it to the end ! Hooray. I went to the mashup, http://findnearby.net/ . I am looking for wooden blocks for my daughter to buy them for her birthday. Toys R Us and Walmart only carry foam ones. When I went to the site, I didn't see anything on Craig's List which is in Nashville. However, there were many listings on Amazon, so I will have to look at those. Initially, I tried to find a mashup under travel of hotels that will let you bring your dog. I couldn't find that or one with Christian music.
I went to Rollyo, and I found a story about a mishaps with the systems at the Lakeland Library Cooperative in Michigan. Unfortnately,15,000 library patrons’ records — names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, street addresses, children’s names and library card numbers — wound up being accessible to the public. The author said if she were a patron, she'd want a lot more information. I think it would be a nightmare.
The mashup about infectious diseases with a google map is something I sent to our infectious disease nurse and the 2 docs on staff. Although I can see a lot of personal applications, these would have to be part of our web online catalog with something users could get into if they wanted to see a list of their holdings as I wouldn't have time to maintain it. So I hope the vendors are looking in this direction.
The Public Library in Nashville already has a way for users to sign in online, renew books, request books, and look at their library accounts.
