Dynamic 3D Maps at WSU Libraries
Dynamic Mapping Program (New Version)
Dynamic 3D Maps at Wichita State University (WSU) Libraries provides a point-to-point mapping of locations and call no. ranges to animated 3D shelving maps. They aim to improve our users’ experiences in locating library materials and engage “the Google generation of students” or “the video game generation of students”.
After a user initiates a search in OPAC, on the search results display of each record, a corresponding 3D shelving map can be retrieved by clicking the “Map Direction: Find Where It Is” label.
