Thursday September 28, 2006 Talis and OCLC contest winners
Two competitions designed to encourage innovative use of library data have recently announced winners.
The Talis "Mashing up the Library" Competition first prize went to a Google gadget suite for integrating library content in the Google personalized homepage. You can see a full list of winners and entries on the Talis website.
The OCLC Software Research Contest prize went to an OpenURL link resolver tool called The Umlaut.
Unfortunately, the OCLC contest entry submitted by Emily Lynema and myself did not win, but you can learn more about it here: Catalog Availability Service.
Library competitions are fun and encourage new thinking around library services. I hope to see more competition opportunities in the future.

you could always submit your OCLC contest entry to the re-opened Mashing up the Library competition over at www.talis.com/tdn/competition
I'll also ask a colleague to add your entry to the new Innovation Directory (www.talis.com/tdn/innovationdir/) if I may; we're keen to reflect library innovation wherever it's found, in order to build a pool of practice from which others can freely learn...
It would be good to see a list of the entries to the OCLC contest for the same reason...
