I have just met with Matt (cc'ed), we discussed some maps related stuff,
and what he has been working on with the touchscreen displays in the
library (is there a link for this?).

The workstations app [1] is linked to from these screens, which
currently uses Google Maps. In my opinion, it might be good to replace
this with something more special purpose (prioritising information about
Hartley Library workstations), which could be built upon leaflet-soton.

The other topic discussed was locating books in the library. The blocker
here seems to be the lack (and complexity) of the data.
