At UCLA we are also working on “Index to the UCLA Henry J. Bruman Collection's Paper Topographic Maps<https://arcg.is/11i0XX>”, which provides a spatial index for top map series. We scanned all topographic map indexes in print
and created the Web Map Application service and added all scanned topo sheets. Colored boxes indicate map availability in the Library. Each grid item contains basic information about the corresponding topographic map as well as a link to an image of the map.
In our OPAC you can
See two examples

Stanford has a great example of something we are working towards at UCSB.  This is interactive, which provides direct access to the digital objects.
https://earthworks.stanford.edu/catalog/stanford-ts545zc6250

We (a group of us from around the country) are also very close to officially releasing an Open Index Maps<https://openindexmaps.org/specification/1.0.0> specification that can be used to create standardized GIS index maps that will be compatible with GeoBlacklight (some development is still required to make it all work, but we're getting there).  The specification is ready but we still need to do a little work around the website.  Thanks to everyone who helped put this together.

Best,
Tom

We do.  Such as this 1:100,000 set of Namibia:

http://catalog.lib.msu.edu/record=b9952653~S17a



When it is a paper set the index says whether or not we own the sheet.  If it is a licensed digital set of maps, the index links out to the TIF



Thank you to Kasey Wilson.

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__;!!HXCxUKc!gE6Ut9rUTXnyMzu4exJS75uLnCy-r5rCrl3SpKWCvKoXqm3RWXFCxTc6_lW5utM$>], or a box for a whole set of topos [http://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990044581400203941/catalog<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990044581400203941/catalog__;!!HXCxUKc!gE6Ut9rUTXnyMzu4exJS75uLnCy-r5rCrl3SpKWCvKoXqm3RWXFCxTc6N5HqMbE$>], 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
