[Koha] Wayfinding maps based on collection code (location)

[Joann Ransom]

Hi Darrell,

This sounds fantastic! I'm not a techie but from an end user point of 
view I would love a map which shows clients at a glance which physical 
part of the library houses the collection they are looking for.

Go you!

cheers Jo.
