Here is a third post about the CARL IT workshop, "Mashup the Library" from July 25, 2008. The third presenter in this information-packed day at Santa Clara University was Jill Tinsley of the University of Arizona. Jill's topic was “Information Visualization Using Mashups and Web 2.0 Tools.” [ The photo shows CARL North IT Co-President Sheila Cunningham and Jill Tinsley. ]Jill showed the audience a whirlwind tour of visual sites grouped into three categories: searching, news, searches-photos. I'm listing some of the many sites so I can go back and look at them again.
