I know Chris Thiry has done a ton of great work in this area. I can't speak to it displaying IN the catalog but there is a great interface for searching for maps by index that links TO the catalog. Example: https://csmgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=93831b3831e04b5fbe7b4a9e4ba24926

Subject: spatial index in the ILS/OPAC?

Hi,

Anybody out there in library land display a spatial index in the catalog for a multi-sheet map (or series of maps)?

For ex., Harvard sometimes depicts a bounding box for a single sheet [ http://id.lib.harvard.edu/fgdc/AFRICOVER_SM_MJTOWNS/catalog<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/id.lib.harvard.edu/fgdc/AFRICOVER_SM_MJTOWNS/catalog__;!!KwNVnqRv!WRgPXrkJXa6bPGi4OLg773kXVKROTMhKghGhcdW10OEqpxI75gWhi5jjQhMEl_v57OKe3xE$>], or a box for a whole set of topos [http://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990044581400203941/catalog<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990044581400203941/catalog__;!!KwNVnqRv!WRgPXrkJXa6bPGi4OLg773kXVKROTMhKghGhcdW10OEqpxI75gWhi5jjQhMEl_v5SivnC08$>], but I want to depict--and, ideally, label--multiple boxes w/ the same record so that users looking at the record for a multi-sheet topo set can negotiate/navigate that set the way one used to do with print topo sheet indexes.

Anybody seen this, or already doing it?

Thank you.
Michael
