Hi Joe

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you mean?  We've had floor plans on our OPAC for several years now...
http://library.hud.ac.uk/catlink/bib/365051/cls/

...they're based on these interactive Flash plans...

...I did want to use the Flash plans on the OPAC, but the dedicated catalogue PCs scattered around the library were too old to handle Flash :-(

We're still waiting for our RFID supplier to supply us with the RFID handheld units but, come the day they arrive, I've got some grand plans for them:

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
