[ILL-L] ILL map - version 2.008

[Penn, Jon]

My colleague at Nylink, Jen Hawkes, has created a map that includes
location and library type for Nylink member libraries.  The map is
available on the Nylink web site:
 
 http://www.nylink.org/membership/MemberLoc.htm
<http://www.nylink.org/membership/MemberLoc.htm> 
 
This map was created using a free online utility called GPS Visualizer:

Jen has written up instructions for creating a customized map.  If you'd
like a copy of the instructions, please contact Jen at
hawkesj at nylink.org.
 
Thanks,
 
Jon Penn

Subject: [ILL-L] ILL map - version 2.008



At this time last year I posted a message about creating an ILL map,
with dots representing libraries that loaned to us, and to whom we
loaned through the year. It was something I had done at 3 other
libraries, and it provided to be a valuable publicity/promotion
activity. It also added color to an office with all white walls.

 

In 2008, I'm wanting to track activity electronically and we'll post it,
or link to it, from the ILL page on the Library's webpage. 

 

I've looked at google.map, where we can set balloons on the geographic
sites. I've looked at another system where you can input zip codes which
display on a map. It's drawback is if we want free use, commercial
advertising is included.

 

Another suggestions for free software or systems that would visually
depict locations?

 

 

Thanks,

Paul
