I feel this must be somewhere, but I can't seem to find it (by
Googling it of course).

I work for a state university library and I am incorporating Google
maps into our digital collections.

As the above link shows, we use google maps for display in certain
collections.  The next step is obvious, let users select either a
point or a rectangle (safer from data standpoint... no need to buffer
the point, etc..) and retrieve items published in that rectangle or
about that rectangle.

So, I have a system in place to search my SQL database by latitudes
and longitudes, but how can I let a user draw a rectangle on a Google
map.  Someone must have released a nice little widget which allows
point and rectangle selection.  Just need to raise an event when the
user is done dragging the rectangle and my software will take care of
the rest.

Any suggestions?
