Using Google’s powerful Fusion Tables tool, you can turn a run-of-the mill CONTENTdm collection into something remarkable. Fusion Tables makes it simple to use geographic information such as addresses from a collection to create an interactive, engaging map that can be embedded in a website, LibGuide, or CONTENTdm collection. Best of all, the process is completely free and doesn’t require any programming ability! See how a simple collection of historic photos was transformed into an exciting visual representation of a city’s past. Even if your library doesn’t use CONTENTdm, you’ll still learn about the process of geocoding and see how easy it is with Fusion Tables.
