Help for ZACK book maps

Introduction

ZACK bookmaps is a web application to find, locate and loan a book with google maps.

ZACK bookmaps use several web services in parallel to gather all neccessary data in real time (Mashup). It depends on:

Libraries catalogs with a Z39.50 server (my heros!)
Libraries with a web catalog
Library Location Code directories
Geo databases
Google maps
Amazon cover images
