11-13 September: IGeLU 2023 Conference + Ex Libris Knowledge Days

Except for sessions marked as "Physical session only (no live streaming)", all sessions are accessible to physical and virtual participants.

Session Abstract

Despite the many signs in our library, users sometimes have trouble finding the resources they're looking for. The step between the information found in the catalog (Primo) and the physical location of the item is often hard to take. To overcome this difficulty, we embarked on the development of an interactive map that geolocates the resources. The map has been easily integrated into Primo, so that the user can access it directly from the search results and is being pointed to the right shelves. But physical resources are only a small part of what the library has to offer. The next step of our project is to use the interactive map to point out online resources related to physical sections in the library.
