Miami, FL -- March 18, 2021. Springshare is excited to announce LibCal mapping module, a new tool that visually engages and informs library patrons as they navigate the reservation process. Launching in April, these optional features include interactive maps for booking in-person activities and directional maps for event and appointment locations.

"More than ever, the ‘where' of a room, desk, event, or meeting reservation is just as important as the ‘what' and ‘when'," said Chief Springy Slaven Zivkovic. "Online visuals like interactive and location-specific maps encourage site engagement and provide a better user experience! Helping libraries and users with scheduling is at the heart of the LibCal platform, and we're thrilled to bring its user-facing modules together in one easy-to-use, mobile friendly tool."

Key highlights from LibCal's new, optional mapping features include:

• Interactive maps with clickable spaces, seats, and event and appointment locations.
  • Color options for map areas based on a user's date and time selection.
  • Information bubbles that display each bookable area's capacity and power and accessibility options on hover.
  • Nested map capability so users can click from building floor map to a layout map with bookable study rooms or an individual room's map with bookable desks.
• Directional maps attached to event and appointment locations that are automatically shared in confirmation emails to event and appointment registrants.
