<div>As a library and information professional, I have so long searched for a nexus between the twain, viz., a) Information Visualization and b) best practices in the library world.<br><br />
Based on my search, I built an extensive webliography on the above nexus. This Webliography has two related dimensions, viz.,<br><br />
<br />
a) [[<a href="http://sites.google.com/site/akbanis/home/drmt_geo/visual-catalog">Alternative Cataloging / Information Visualization</a>]]<br><br />
<blockquote><br />
What is a Visual Catalogue? <br />
"Current library catalogs don't reflect how people really work with information, making them very inefficient tools, particularly for users new to a discipline. They represent monolithic centralized efforts to structure access to the written record that are failing to adequately address the growth of that record or to tightly integrate newer forms of scholarly communication (e.g. the Web)."

Bibliomining: Data Mining for Libraries by Dr. Scott Nicholson, Assistant Professor at Syracuse University School for Information Studies. <br><br />
What is Bibliomining?<br><br />
The basic definition is "data mining for libraries."<br><br />
For years, bibliometrics has been used to track patterns in authorship, citation, etc. Today, there are many more tools available for discovering similar patterns in complex datasets from data mining and statistics. In addition, tools from management science such as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) can be used to explore the data for patterns. <br><br />
Therefore, a more complex definition is:<br />
Bibliomining is the combination of data mining, bibliometrics, statistics, and reporting tools used to extract patterns of behavior-based artifacts from library systems. [[<a href="http://sites.google.com/site/akbanis/home/drmt_geo/data-mining-in-libraries">Read more</a>]]</blockquote><br />
I have summarized my search results. ''See'' [[http://akbani.blogspot.com/2006/03/information-visualization-demystified.html Information Visualization Demystified]]. In this summary there are two issues. First, a few references on the involvement of some significant facilitators. And, second, how the process of developing a graphical interface for library catalog has progressed so far. <br><br />
From the above citations, obvious is the fact that creating graphical interface is one of the possible ways. <br><br />
In what other ways Information Visualization could aid in building a usable, and user-friendly library catalog is the crux of the problem. <br><br />
How best we could apply the Guru's [[Visual Information-Seeking Mantra]] in developing next generation library catalogs is an issue, which the Guru himself may be able to guide. I hope and pray that the Guru gives a special mantra for librarians to be inspired and apply the techniques of creative visualizations.<br />

Library and information professionals also need insights on the above from other experts. The bottom line is every book in the library must find its user.<br><br />

Bibliomining: Data Mining for Libraries by Dr. Scott Nicholson, Assistant Professor at Syracuse University School for Information Studies. <br><br />
What is Bibliomining?<br><br />
The basic definition is "data mining for libraries."<br><br />
For years, bibliometrics has been used to track patterns in authorship, citation, etc. Today, there are many more tools available for discovering similar patterns in complex datasets from data mining and statistics. In addition, tools from management science such as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) can be used to explore the data for patterns. <br><br />
Therefore, a more complex definition is:<br />

And, second, how the process of developing a graphical interface for library catalog has progressed so far. <br><br />
From the above citations, obvious is the fact that creating graphical interface is one of the possible ways. <br><br />
In what other ways Information Visualization could aid in building a usable, and user-friendly library catalog is the crux of the problem. <br><br />
How best we could apply the Guru's [[Visual Information-Seeking Mantra]] in developing next generation library catalogs is an issue, which the Guru himself may be able to guide.

For years, bibliometrics has been used to track patterns in authorship, citation, etc. Today, there are many more tools available for discovering similar patterns in complex datasets from data mining and statistics.

Users seek and retrieve information from the sources—for example, file serves, databases, and digital libraries—and use various tools to browse, manipulate, reuse, and generally process the information. We have developed a number of techniques that support various aspects of the process of user/information interaction. These techniques can be considered attempts to increase the bandwidth and quality of the interactions between users and information in an information workspace—an environment designed to support information work.<br />

The main goal of our project BibRelEx is to develop a new method based on the visualization of content-based relations between documents such as cites, succeeds, improves with respect to. BibRelEx will therefore use these relationships for effective exploration. In addition, BibRelEx will take advantage of the additional insights into the area that can result from the aggregation of expert knowledge, which complements the specialized knowledge represented in the documents themselves. We are preparing to test this approach using a bibliographic database in a specific area of computer science. <br><br />

Computer and Information Science, University of Konstanz, Germany. <b>Abstract:</b> The idea of Information Visualization is to get insights into great amounts of abstract data. Especially document sets found by searching the World Wide Web are a special challenge. The paper gives a short overview on the variety of possible visualizations for this application area. Crucial factors for the success of visualizations are discussed. A combined approach is presented to use alternative simple visualizations, grouped around the traditional result-list, for usage with a local meta web search engine.</div>Mtindiahttps://infovis-wiki.net/w/index.php?title=User:Mtindia&diff=8940User:Mtindia2006-03-29T16:50:20Z<p>Mtindia: </p>

<div>I am a Librarian and specialize in knowledge management, information visualization, data mining, etcetera.<br />
<br />
More details at my blog: Information Visualization. This blogsphere is about a world of touch, feel, look and visualization -- where we can synchronously see, hear, share and do much more. Interestingly, in order to visualize one does not need special skills, competencies, etc. It is all about common sense, especially with human visualizations. In short, "information is in the eyes of the beholder."<br />

My Web page has more articles from my desktop.<br />

<div>Library catalogs<br />
From InfoVis:Wiki<br />
As a library and information professional, I have so long searched for a nexus between the twain, viz., a) Information Visualization and b) best practices in the library world.<br />
<br />
<br />
Based on my search, I built an extensive webliography on the above nexus. This Webliography has two related dimensions, viz.,<br />
a) Alternative Cataloging / Information Visualization<br />
b) Mining The Library Catalog<br />
I have summarized my search results. See Information Visualization Demystified. In this summary there are two issues. First, a few references on the involvement of Information Visualization specialists. And, second, how the process of developing a graphical interface for library catalog has progressed so far. <br />
From the above citations, obvious is the fact that creating graphical interface is one of the possible ways. <br />
In what other ways Information Visualization could aid in building a usable, and user-friendly library catalog is the crux of the problem. <br />
How best we could apply the Guru's Visual Information-Seeking Mantra in developing next generation library catalogs is an issue, which the Guru himself may be able to guide. <br />
<br />
One gets a lead of the probable tasks from the Guru's book: Leonardo's Laptop: Searching, Visualizing, Consulting, Thinking, Exploring, Composing, Reviewing<br />
Library and information professionals also need insights on the above from other experts. The bottom line is every book in the library must find its user.</div>Mtindiahttps://infovis-wiki.net/w/index.php?title=Library_catalogs&diff=8895Library catalogs2006-03-23T04:04:03Z<p>Mtindia: </p>
