Many mobile map-based guidance systems heavily feature architecturally
designed CAD maps for building guidance. While this is a logical first step,
it would also seem to be only a starting place and not the preferred
interface for the users of undergraduate collections. Basic and applied
studies on building wayfinding has found that students approach the library
building with a bookstore frame of reference and prefer distorted maps based
on broad subject areas. This presentation will show the iteration of maps
displayed on a mobile device to help users get to desired items within a
library’s undergraduate collections. Next directions for additional data
points in map-based guidance will be discussed.
