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
