Maps

Absolutely! You can have as many maps as you need to accurately show your item locations. Though you may need to get creative with your call numbers if you’re running the same call-numbered materials in different locations (i.e. 100S – 300S for a storage location and 100 – 300 for shelved items).

You can create a map using any type of image creation software, like Photoshop, Illustrator, Paint, etc. You can also take pictures of where the shelf is situated in the library, or hold an art contest with your students to create distinctive markers for each shelf. You can also use text to describe the location for the visually impaired. This article from Classroom Architect might help.
