    In 6 Kapiteln mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten (Einführung, Mashups für Bibliotheks-Webseiten, Katalog-Mashups, Karten-, Foto- und Video-Mashups, Mehrwert für Nutzerinnen durch Mashups) werden verschiedene Projekte vorgestellt, die v.a. im anglo-amerikanischen Raum aber auch international entwickelt und umgesetzt wurden. Zur Sprache kommen u.a. die Einbindung der Nutzer-generierten Daten von Library-Thing, die kreative Nutzung von bekannten Plattformen wie Flickr oder del. icio.us für bibliothekarische Dienste, das Open-Source-Katalog-Discovery-Interface Blacklight und verschiedene Mashup-Tools wie z.B. Yahoo!Pipes. Vielen Referenzen und Websites, die Hilfestellung beim Einstieg in die Materie leisten können, ergänzen den Band. Wichtige Grundlagenbegriffe (API, SRU etc.) werden erklärt und anhand von Beispielen veranschaulicht. Screenshots illustrieren die vorgestellten Projekte. Sehr nützlich: Am Ende des Buches befindet sich ein Glossar zum Nachschlagen mit kurzen Erklärungen der wichtigsten Begriffe, und es wurde ein eigene Webseite eingerichtet, auf denen sämtliche im Buch angegebene Links und weitere Informationen zu finden sind (mashups.web2learning.net). Bibliothekskataloge haben mit das größte Potential, in Mashups verwendet zu werden, sowohl was die Anreicherung mit externen Daten als auch die Datenlieferung an andere Anwendungen betrifft. An mehreren Stellen im Buch wird deutlich, wie wichtig die Zugänglichkeit bzw. Offenheit der Daten für die Verbreitung und Weiterentwicklung im Web ist und wie Bibliotheken damit (auch im Zeitalter von Google) relevant bleiben. Hier muss aber angesichts der meist in proprietären Systemen "gefangenen" bibliographischen Daten (Stichwort Datensilo) sowohl von Seiten der Bibliotheken als auch von Seiten der Hersteller von integrierten Bibliothekssystemen noch stark in Richtung Open Data umgedacht werden (diese Forderung findet sich auch in Fachdiskussionen über die Zukunft der Bibliotheken und Kataloge wieder).

    Unlike muck of the professional library literature, Net Effects is not an open-aimed embrace of technology. Block even suggests that it is helpful to have a Luddite or two an each library staff to identify the setbacks associated with technological advances in the library. Each of the book's 10 chapters deals with one Internet-related problem, such as "Chapter 4-The Shifted Librarian: Adapting to the Changing Expectations of Our Wired (and Wireless) Users," or "Chapter 8-Up to Our Ears in Lawyers: Legal Issues Posed by the Net." For each of these 10 problems, multiple solutions are offered. For example, for "Chapter 9-Disappearing Data," four solutions are offered. These include "Link-checking," "Have a technological disaster plan," "Advise legislators an the impact proposed laws will have," and "Standards for preservation of digital information." One article is given to explicate each of these four solutions. A short bibliography of recommended further reading is also included for each chapter. Block provides a short introduction to each chapter, and she comments an many of the entries. Some of these comments seem to be intended to provide a research basis for the proposed solutions, but they tend to be vague generalizations without citations, such as, "We know from research that students would rather ask each other for help than go to adults. We can use that (p. 91 )." The original publication dates of the entries range from 1997 to 2002, with the bulk falling into the 2000-2002 range. At up to 6 years old, some of the articles seem outdated, such as a 2000 news brief announcing the creation of the first "customizable" public library Web site (www.brarydog.net). These critiques are not intended to dismiss the volume entirely. Some of the entries are likely to find receptive audiences, such as a nuts-and-bolts instructive article for making Web sites accessible to people with disabilities. "Providing Equitable Access," by Cheryl H. Kirkpatrick and Catherine Buck Morgan, offers very specific instructions, such as how to renovate OPAL workstations to suit users with "a wide range of functional impairments." It also includes a useful list of 15 things to do to make a Web site readable to most people with disabilities, such as, "You can use empty (alt) tags (alt="') for images that serve a purely decorative function. Screen readers will skip empty (alt) tags" (p. 157). Information at this level of specificity can be helpful to those who are faced with creating a technological solution for which they lack sufficient technical knowledge or training.
