Springshare Announces Webinars for LibMaps Interactive Mapping Platform

Help Patrons Bridge the Digital-to-Physical Library Experience

MIAMI (February 24, 2025)-Springshare is pleased to announce webinars for a new interactive mapping platform: LibMaps. This multipurpose wayfinding tool helps patrons navigate library spaces, find precise locations of holdings and books, and locate any space or facility in the library.

"As our libraries are offering more and more programs and enticing reasons for patrons to come into the library, they have been asking us to provide an interactive mapping tool to connect the dots between the virtual library and its physical spaces," said Springshare Founder and CEO, Slaven Zivkovic. "Our LibMaps tool provides an easy and affordable way for libraries to improve how users interact with and navigate library spaces and collections."

LibMaps offers flexible features to help users find what they need in the library:

• HoldingsFinder: LibMaps introduces stack-level mapping that helps users pinpoint the exact location of any book in the library. Patrons can find locations using LibMaps' built-in search functionality, or via a "Map It" button within the library catalog or discovery system.
• SpacesFinder: Within LibMaps, users can directly reserve library spaces and study rooms and view real-time availability, pictures of spaces and equipment, detailed directions, and more. It also integrates with smart lock systems for a streamlined booking experience from start to finish.
• EventsFinder: Users can identify event locations on library maps and even register for events directly from the LibMaps interface.
• PlacesFinder: Clickable, interactive hotspots on library maps allow libraries to call out helpful information, such as facility locations or service desk hours, and highlight any space that the library wants more visitors to be aware of.

LibMaps' interactive maps are high-quality SVG formatted images that look great on any device. Springshare's Consulting Team can help your library create excellent, easy-to-update maps that users will love.

For a demo of LibMaps features in action, please attend an upcoming webinar on Thursday, February 27 or Wednesday, March 5. Visit Springshare's website to learn more about LibMaps.
