How to access record in a hashmap
When you have: (def object-locations { 'whiskey 'living-room 'bucket'living-room 'chain 'garden 'frog 'garden 'dummy 'nowhere 'test 'nowhere }) You can retrieve the location of the bucket with: (object-locations 'bucket) and with: ('bucket object-locations) Personally I find the first better, but ‘Clojure Programming' uses the second possibility.

Oh and its rare (outside of macros) to use symbols like that. Usually you'd use keywords.

Re: How to access record in a hashmap
Don't know Land of Lisp, but if you print it you can use (name :whiskey) to get whiskey (as a String), also works on (name 'whiskey).
