A colleague of mine (Tim Donahue) did something similar here at
Skidmore, but we never got around to hooking it to our catalog records.
It probably wouldn't be too hard though, since his flash-based map has
all of the LC data connected to ranges in our stacks. You can take a
look here: http://hudson2.skidmore.edu/library/subjectmap2/

Joseph,
Brad Faust of the Ball State University Libraries was working on just
such a project (a dynamic book stacks map) a couple of years ago. The
beta showed promise, but I don't see it in Ball State's catalog now.
You might want to contact Brad Faust at bfaust_at_bsu.edu or (765) 285-8032
to see if he can answer any questions.

Subject: [BULK?] [NGC4LIB] dynamic stacks maps?
Hello,
We are considering building a dynamic book stack map application, linked
to our catalog, that would show a color-coded map of what region of the
stacks a given book is in.
I am writing to see if anyone here has seen or developed any dynamic map
applications used for library stacks. I'd like to see some examples for
some inspiration, and I'd like to hear about any experiences that you've
all had when building these applications.
Thank you,
Joe
