Abstrakt: We present two interactive, online maps of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus: The University ofWisconsin-Madison Interactive Campus Map (http://map.wisc.edu) and the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Interactive Map (http://www.lakeshorepreserve.wisc.edu). Although these two projects represent the same university campus, the former follows a way finding-based model of campus mapping while the latter follows an atlas-based model of campus mapping. The purpose of the University of Wisconsin- Madison Interactive Campus Map is to search for, navigate to, and retrieve information about specific features on campus. The purpose of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Campus Map is to present the rich history and unique geography of the University's Lakeshore Nature Preserve. Both maps were produced by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Cartography Laboratory and developed primarily in Flash 8 using ActionScript 2.0. We hope that the University of Wisconsin-Madison Interactive Campus Map and Lakeshore Nature Preserve Interactive Map provide guidance through example for those undertaking similar projects.
