Use Cases
Interactive Maps & Wayfinding
Add a "wow!" factor to Space and Seat Booking with Interactive Mapping
LibCal’s Interactive Mapping module allows patrons to browse and book spaces & seats using an interactive floor plan map. Info hotspots on the map describe library's spaces and sevices, helping patrons learn where things are inside the library. Heat map reports show admins which spaces and seats are booked most frequently, providing valuable insight into how to organize seating for optimal use.
Help Patrons Visualize Your Library Spaces
Functional, Interactive Library Maps
With Interactive Maps, students and patrons are presented with an interactive map of each location in the library. Color-coded spaces (red-booked, green-available) show at-a-glance availability for a desired patron-entered booking time.
Additional Interactive Maps Features:
- Provide detailed visual information about each seat & space
- Book spaces and seats directly from the map interface
- Offer directional mapping for events and appointments
- Include detailed map & directions inside booking confirmation emails
- Searchable by location or event
