[Koha] Drawing Software - Floor Mapping Library's Collections

[Roger Hiles]

Hi--

Try GIMP (https://www.gimp.org/)

It's not the simplest program in the world, but it's a great, all-purpose graphics program.  Lots of online assistance, tutorials, etc.  Plus, it's free.

Subject: [Koha] Drawing Software - Floor Mapping Library's Collections

 Hi,

 I'm new to the list and grateful to be here.

 I'm interested in drawing software so patrons and new staff,  volunteers and student interns can find materials on shelves easily  and quickly.

 Ex. one set of shelves to the far left of the circulation desk would  be labeled Fiction. Then the next set of shelves named Mystery in the  shelves bay to the right of the Fiction shelves bay and then to the  right of that the shelves Bay for Supernatural.

 This would be a floor plan so a patron could walk around the library  and look at this floor plan map and know where Fiction is - where  Mystery is, Biography, etc. for every collection throughout the  library.

 If I sat with an illustrator they could probably draw it all up in  about 20-30 minutes and I would just scan what they drew and have a  map (crude compared to a 3D) but enough so a patron could find items.

 But, is there any *free* easy to learn / easy to use software which could accomplish that?

 Thank you!

J.
