This is a bit how I'm feeling...love the idea, but don't know that I am clever enough to get it all together.
I found the maps all a bit confusing until I went to the public library finder-that was pretty good and easy to look up.
I thought the Voicethread was excellent and as you say "could be really useful for adding information to digital objects from your local studies collection."
The Virtual Tourism site took me for a tour down the Nile, to Uluru, the Sydney Opera House and all without leaving my chair.
I'll be thinking of some other applications for mashups in the library service while I'm trying to Discover how to make something presentable.
Being a highly visual person myself, I think that mashups on our web page , like the calender page would be good for alerting our patrons to events happening throughout the library service each month. We have a monthly newsletter so the events in this could be put on the calender with all the details. A google map would also be able to show where each service point is located with a link to the branch library page. Voicethreads could also be used to highlight items or collections within the library service.
