Libraries Launches StackMap
Syracuse University Libraries recently launched StackMap, a new online mapping tool to help increase the findability of items in the collections. When visitors are on the Libraries’ website and search for an item in Summon or the Classic Catalog, there will be a “Map it!” button next to the item’s call number details. Clicking on the button will provide a detailed map highlighting the approximate location of the physical item within Bird Library. The stacks in Carnegie Library remain closed for the spring 2021 semester due to COVID safety precautions, so the “Map it!” buttons will direct users to the Service Desk at Carnegie Library. Items located in King + King Architecture Library, the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, or the Law Library will provide users with a campus map to that library’s location. StackMap will be updated routinely to ensure information accuracy.
