- Locations view communicates with Exhibit API to render page elements using AJAX
- JavaScript sends a call to a separate controller over HTTP, requesting JSON with holdings information (OCLC symbol, name, URL for catalog, latitude/longitude
- JSON controller sends requests to Holdings API and WorldCat Registry, and to Google Maps (as needed)
- Exhibit renders that data, and you've got the gravy
