Abstract
Mashup is one of the many new phenomena in the Web 2.0 environment. They are largely
experimental, but some of them are very useful, well-designed and very popular. Google
Maps is the most popular component of Mashups. Amazon, Yahoo! Maps, and photo-sharing
site Flickr are also a source for many of the sites. The libraries have been well adapting to
the emerging technologies to integrate contents and services in order to provide innovative
services to the users. The paper defines Mashup and discusses its various aspects with
specific reference to the libraries.
