What we wanted
• A map showing libraries in Herefordshire.
• Easy to use
• Easy to build
• Easy to maintain
• Low cost!

The old way…
• Not particularly attractive
• The writing is rather small, and in some cases illegible
• It is interactive - green dots are clickable, but it’s hardly exciting.

• Geographical Coordinates
• A data store
• An edit interface

Write code for map display…
• Query the directory for details about Herefordshire's libraries
• Add the information to a Google map
• Show the Google map in a webpage

How it works…
• The webpage loads and gets the maps API
• My script asks the directory for details of libraries in Herefordshire
• My script adds a marker for each library
• The webpage shows the map• Done! Talis Directory

Bigger thoughts
• Web 2.0– User generated content– Thin client computing
• Open Access to… – Data– APIs (Application Programming Interfaces)
• The ‘perpetual beta’

Responsive
• ‘Responsivity’ is a two way process.
• Users can respond to our data.
• We can add a new service in a matter of weeks, in response to our user’s needs.
• If a user sees us as useful, they will come back, and they will bring their friends.

The four R’s
• Responsive development
• Re-use existing tools
• Reduce complexity
• Reduce cost
• Library 2.0– “Library 2.0 describes a subset of library services
designed to meet user needs caused by the direct and peripheral effects of Web 2.0“ Michael Habib http://mchabib.com/
