Greetings to all,
A bit of more reference regarding Wichita State's Dynamic Mapping:
This articles looks at dynamic location mapping from a broader approach, which means, it can be implemented not just in Voyager, but in other database systems which have ODBC, JDBC or DBI/DBD connection.
Linking Location and shelf mapping from OPAC search results: with reference to Wichita State University. New Library World. P. 107 - 116, Volume: 109, Issue: 3/4, 2008. Emerald Group Publishing Limited. URL: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/10.1108/03074800810857577

Thanks,

I agree that one is pretty impressive. Nancy Deyoe, Hongfei Li & Sai Deng have done presentations on how the map feature was incorporated into Wichita State's Voyager ILS [1,2,3]. They have been extremely generous in sharing their expertise. Hongfei Li (who I believe did the coding) has since moved on to the City University of Seattle.
