For me a mashup will always be the fusing of two songs to form a new tune (vocal from one, instrumental from the other), usually with a punny title - eg. "Get Outta My Way" vs. "California Gurls" (sic) --> "Get Outta My California Gurl". I don't care what Wikipedia says...
But, having to look at the Web 2.0 angle, I can see where the name could be transferred to other media.
As for where the use of mashups would be applicable within a library setting, I think that online tutorials would probably be a good fit, encorporating a number of media.
I did see on MashedLibrary an odd suggestion that the bib records for library catalogue should perform more like twitter (with limited number of characters) and then link the other information from elsewhere [Idea #21]. I'm not sure that being so reliant on 3rd party data is such a good idea. Too many potential problems I think...
