Along with Chris Keene and Paul Stainthorp, I was recently asked by Craigie-Lee Paterson to present to around 20 people at a CPD25 training event at Goldsmith’s (University of London) on the theme of mashups and Web2.0 tools. The audience was mainly made up of academic and health library staff, so as a public librarian it was an opportunity [...]

Leeds Libraries use Mapped in Yahoo Pipes
Recently, Ian Clark blogged about proposed closures in Leeds Libraries on the Voices For The Library site. Following the Freedom of Information request this blog post was based on, we thought it might be useful to map some of the data, as a simple way of comparing libraries in Leeds. (NB: These figures were only [...]

Generating Blog Keyword Tags 2
I had another go at automating the tagging process for my blog using Yahoo Pipes, as I wanted to improve on my original idea, which was a bit scrappy. So, I’ve reworked the pipe to pull out all of the keywords from all of the posts (using Category RSS feeds). The original pipe listed the [...]

Twitter follower/friend map
I seem to be getting into the swing of things with Yahoo Pipes at the moment and I seem to be creating lots of maps. Every time I use it, something else clicks in my head and puts a smile on my face. Yesterday, Aaron Tay asked me if I knew how to create a [...]

A Travellers Map in Yahoo Pipes
Before putting together the Surrey Fiction Book Map for work I was considering the possibility of creating a map of the world that would link from markers to Surrey Libraries’ catalogue. I didn’t fancy creating it manually and I was sure it could be done via Yahoo Pipes. However, at the time I hadn’t used [...]

Generating Blog Keyword Tags and Tagxedo Clouds with Yahoo Pipes
As I’ve been adding blog posts here I’ve noticed that the keyword tags are getting into a mess. So I’ve been thinking about what I could do to sort them out, either by getting the computer to do the tagging for me, or provide another way of presenting relevant keywords about specific blog posts to [...]

This Made Me 2
In a previous blog post I talked about a biographical project I wanted to attempt – I called it “This Made Me”. I wanted to put together a visual representation of things I consider influenced me throughout my life and made me the person I am today, just as an experiment to see what I [...]

Literary Twist Project and Run Basic
After tinkering with my Literary Twist Yahoo pipe (put in a book synopsis and it turns it into a synopsis for a horror novel) I’ve decided that it doesn’t work. Well, it sort of works when it finds any relevant words. The problem is, it relies on the common words appearing in the text fields [...]

Literary Twist Update
I mentioned in my Tinkering Day post that I’d made some progress on the Literary Twist project. I thought it might be interesting for others to see what I’d done/how I’d done it. Well, I’ve sort of done what I wanted on tweaking the words, but at the same time it’s obvious that what I [...]
