  1. Will Input Photos from my collection
  2. Geospatial Information Technology Association - http://www.gita.org/gita-in-action/location_in_edu.asp Location in Action program provides GPS devices, with instruction booklet, for cost of shipping. It talks about teachers, but they do it for librarians too!
