What is IBM Mashup Starter Kit? How useful it could be for you! IBM Mashup Starter Kit is a preview of a new Web 2.0-based mashup platform that empowers business professionals to rapidly get the information they need, no matter where it resides. This toolkit enables users to assemble their own Web 2.0 mashup applications, solving business problems without aid from information technology (IT) specialists. IBM Mashup Starter Kit consists of two technologies: IBM Mashup Hub and QEDWiki. IBM Mashup Hub is a mashup server that stores information feeds (such as in RSS, ATOM, or XML formats) in order to enable reuse and collaboration. Mashup Hub can also merge, transform, filter, annotate, or publish information in new formats. From there, the newly-enhanced QEDWiki serves as the user interface and allows non-IT users to "mash" information from any data source in order to create a single view of disparate sets of information in minutes.

Including the Name and City of the Library in the Posts

Dear Moderator, Sometimes, we find a name and an unknown/impersonal/non-organisational email_id of the sender with a post. It makes the post very impersonal - as in newspapers- not like an e-community formed for caring and sharing. While someone is sending some info for LIS-FORUM readers, can they please include very brief organisational details under their names just to give us a feel of bonding between LIS professionals? Name of the organisation and city/state may also help in regional groupings/activities. Best regards.
