One of the developers is from our School of Library and Information Science. "Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature" _http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-iowa-city-unesco-city/id396516495?mt=8%3E_ or look in iTunes This free app from the University of Iowa just got approved by Apple. It's a beginning version of an app. to celebrate our USESCO City of Literature Status, and UI will keep building on this, adding more and more content. It includes a mapping component, which eventually will be a fairly complete literary map of Iowa City: "Visitors can guide themselves around town in literary style. The app offers maps of Iowa City, with embedded electronic 'brass plaques,' indicating a variety of unique locations: where historic readings took place, where authors wrote, and the legendary taverns where writers gathered to argue and gossip." Not sure if people can add their own annotations to the map (e.g, Dave's Fox Head, where <everybody> drank...)
