I had a realization the other day that I have visited quite a number of colleges in my previous life as a higher education publishing rep.
I mapped what I could remember (up to about 100 cities) using a Google Doc spreadsheet. It loads extremely slowly so, if you are patient, you will see an interactive map below in a few seconds.
Interestingly, I can’t remember work related campus visits anywhere north of New York City in the east and San Francisco in the west (although I did travel to cities for conferences in Washington and Boston, I never visited campuses for work).
We are still plugging along on our NCSU Mobile site. We’ve added GroupFinder to the mobile site and we hope to add study room availability in the next month or so. Much of this month has been spent talking about our project. We’ve presented at panel session at a LAUNC-CH event and we are presenting later today at Handheld Librarian II. I hope to find an opportunity to do a speed presentation at Code4Lib next week or at
I counted the number of people that have contacted us about the mobile site and we are up to 15+ including people from 5 different countries. It is an exciting time to be in this space–it feels very much like the web in the late 90s. I am really enjoying getting a chance to be a part of an innovative team here at NCSU and can’t wait for what is around the bend.
