Link to October 26 Missoulian article, "Missoula Public Library creates digital map for notable Montana books".
Excerpt: The library launches this week the Montana Authors Project, a literary map for Big Sky books. Other states and regions have recorded the geography of their literature, and project manager Karl Olson had noticed the online collections.
"So I thought that Montana certainly deserved to have an interactive map as well, since we have such a rich literary heritage," said Olson, a library assistant.
See the first phase of mapped books at www.missoulapubliclibrary.org/map . In a Montana Festival of the Book event Friday, the library shares the history of the project and demonstrates the map, which is a new way to experience Montana books as well as a digital tool that furthers one mission of the library.
