Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

I particularly like online mapping tools, as a perpetually lost person with a "worse than horrible" sense of direction (or so says everyone close to me).  I was interested to see Steven Cohen mention (quite some time ago–I’m way behind) the very cool MapLib.net, a tool that lets you turn any image into a Google map, applying all the Googly features you want to it, like zooming, annotations, thumbtacks with pop-up info, and more.  For example, take a look at this map of Tolkien’s Middle Earth (which could have a lot more detail, but I won’t pick nits).  Fun!  Libraries could upload images of their floorplans and note different locations of materials and other important things like bathrooms and such.  Anyone have other ideas?  I’m sure there are many that my tired little brain just can’t come up with…
