ILL Mashup

I miss working with Kate because she's brilliant. She runs the most efficient ILL library system office in Illinois and an incredible volume of "stuff" goes through it.

ILL mashup To help illustrate this, she took her ILL statistics (that she's already collecting) and mashed them up with Community Walk to show ILLs Sent and ILLs Received so far this month.

Aqua markers denote foreign libraries, yellow for outside of Illinois, purple for in-state, and blue for photocopies. Each marker on the map shows the title of the item sent or received, the source or destination library, and when available, a picture of the library.

The query from the database is set up now, so it's a simple matter of importing the data dump into Community Walk and voila, instant map. Like I said - brilliant.
