We can use Facebook and the like for local history - encourage patron's, local historical societies, library staff and local historian to interact with each other to increase the knowledge of our local history. We can use these social networking tools to interact with our community and find out what they like, what they don't like and what they would like us to provide. We can also use facebook to communicate with staff from other libraries - see what they are doing, exchange ideas, find out how they deal with various issues etc

I couldn't watch the Google Docs video for some reason. Anyway, I think it would be quite useful to use for our events checklist form which is currently in hardcopy format. It gets filled out and passed along to several people for action and/or approval before it eventually returns to the original person. Using Google Docs will make it easier to track its progress and you won't have to worry about it being lost or buried.

We are in the process of putting together an events calendar for 12 months. We could use mashups to produce a calendar with the events listed to give away to our patrons as part of a promotional tool.

We could use Mashup for children's activities - maybe have them create their own club badges if they join our chess club or summer reading program.
