Finding Hidden Treasures on Library Shelves

The world is switching to electronic material, but libraries still maintain hard-copy collections. Finding a book on the library shelves is an overwhelming experience for many modern patrons, like trying to find a buried treasure without a map.

This conference presentation will present the effective, accessible, and inclusive solution implemented and adapted in the Tel Aviv University Library of Life Sciences and Medicine, which integrates a mapping application into Primo to support the library staff and enhance user engagement and resource access.

The presentation will also describe other solutions that were considered, as well as provide insights into challenges encountered and overcome.
