I would ask if any section of that library is usable as a library on it's own.
Let's take the local city library here, which has several sections at different locations. There is the main location, a children- and computer library as a thematic "branch" and several localized branches in some suburbs and villages around. You get one common user account for all of them and you can return media on any location and order any media to the location you want to get it (if you pre-order it). You can open an account on any location and so on. Therefore I would consider each "section" as it's own library, even if they share the user account system and their catalogue. Of course it is slightly different than the university library, which has only one section (here in Paderborn) but allows to get media from a whole network of university libraries around (if you pay some extra fee and wait for the book to arrive and so on), but for a map users point of view I don't think it's worth adding another tag for this. Nevertheless for thematic sections it may be useful to name/mark/tag them as such, to tell people this is a general library, that one a topical library for medical sciences and so on. regards Peter Am 01.12.2014 um 23:55 schrieb Mateusz Konieczny: >> "is there one name or different names?" > > Each part has its name, but it is name for this part of the library - > for example "Main lending library" (Wypożyczalnia Główna), > "Children's Section" (Wypożyczalnia dla dzieci). > >> "I believe multiple libraries aren't any problem" > > > For example - it will be displayed horribly on any map, as styles will > be unable to guess that these are sections of library, not separate > entities. > > > 2014-12-01 17:12 GMT+01:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com > <mailto:dieterdre...@gmail.com>>: > > > 2014-11-29 15:15 GMT+01:00 Mateusz Konieczny <matkoni...@gmail.com > <mailto:matkoni...@gmail.com>>: > > There is a large library with multiple sections (for children, > for adults, foreign language > books, reading room, movie/music borrowing, newspaper section > etc etc). > > There are separate accounts for separate sections, different > opening hours.
