[Web4lib] Open access software and/or GIS geographic Information Systems software.

[Jorge Serrano Cobos]

We did something similar, programming a mashup with Google Maps, Amazon
and libraries catalogs thorugh Z.3950, within the project Maps2Books -sorry,
in spanish- (http://bit.ly/Maps2Books)

The system gave to you the nearest library holding a book or multimedia
item matching your query, like worldcat, but using Google Maps. Also you can
have location of others users that like the same literature living in the
same area, in order to enhance the self generation of readers clubs around
libraries as a marketing strategy.

If you need, I can give you more information about how to do that mashup.
