US contingent lead mashup contenders

Mark Chillingworth

The first Talis Library Mashup awards look set to go to the US, where information professionals lead the field in mashup development.

Library automation specialist Talis is offering [pounds sterling]1,000 to the winner of its competition to encourage the creation of web mashups that display data holdings outside a library setting.

Judges are currently deliberating on the finalists, with Talis expecting two outright winners.

Despite the strength of the US contingent, Talis technology evangelist Paul Miller was quick to defend British information professionals. He said institutions in the UK, especially the Open University, were being highly creative.
