ALA has created a Google Maps mashup listing all ALA-accredited library and information science programs. I know a lot of people (myself included) come to librarianship later in life when we’re married, own homes, etc., and relocating can be a major concern.
It’s nice to see ALA using some technologies a little more modern than HTML.
