I can see the advantages of using mashups to combine different types of media like audio, photographic and video. A mashup allows for different ways of approaching a topic and therefore incorporates many learning forms in the one space. The British Library's use of Google Maps to create their own historical timeline was a good example of how mash-ups allow for knowledge to be charted and stored online in a variety of formats ie. through interactive maps as well as words and pictures. I'm not sure how the State Library could use mash-ups to enhance its collection but perhaps the combination of picture and audio would make for a new approach to oral history and allow input from clients as well.
Below is an exmaple of a mash-up in mosaic form which illustrates our value of "Honesty and Integrity"
