This is a great suggestion which is now implemented. -marshall -----Original Message----- From: Nicole Engard [mailto:nengard@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 9:36 AM To: Breeding, Marshall Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Map of Koha libraries worldwide Marshall, This is awesome. I'd say we might want to see color coded icons for different types of libraries (public, special, academic, etc) - since David's mashups were able to show us that information. Nicole 2010/1/5 Breeding, Marshall <marshall.breeding@vanderbilt.edu>:

There was a thread on this list recently involving the development of a map that displays all libraries using Koha. David Friggens had developed a version using Google maps and data from lib-web-cats, but I think that it involved manually adding entries to the map.

The map for ILS implementations is one example of a more extensive map API that I have created in lib-web-cats that I’m still in the process of documenting.

I have created a new map facility in lib-web-cats that can be used to display such things as all libraries using Koha that are represented in lib-web-cats. It’s still in draft form, but here is the map for Koha libraries:

Comments, suggestions, corrections, etc, definitely appreciated.

I hope this is useful.

Best regards,
