The mass availability of large digital collections offered by libraries is partly forcing the online library catalog to become an information exploration and analysis tool. Over the past decade, the continuing transition towards discovery catalogs has provided a number of opportunities to develop novel library data exploration tools and services. One promising avenue is Information Visualization (IV), which refers to a range of techniques that aim to facilitate users\u2019 interaction with large datasets. How can IV help libraries and their users? What has IV done for libraries so far? Based on scholarly and professional literature this presentation describes the context driving this interest and the current state and future of visualization tools for libraries.\u00a0Attendees will be able to better assess if and how IV might be useful in their organizations, what are the barriers to using IV, and how to potentially overcome them.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Prof. Charles-Antoine Julien teaches information technology (i.e., databases, Web systems, programming) at McGill\u2019s School of Information Studies, where his research concerns the design and testing of novel online tools for organized collection exploration and searching. His expertise was first developed during a prior career as a database application developer and trainer, followed by graduate and post-graduate work in the information sciences, more specifically, using technology to interact with large organized collections in novel ways.
