As library and information professional, have so long continued my search to find a nexus between the twain, viz., a) Information Visualization and b) best practices in the library world.
Based on my search, I built an extensive webliography on the above nexus. This Webliography has two related dimensions, viz.,
a) [a href= Alternative Cataloging / Information Visualization] b) [a href=http://www.geocities.com/drmtaher/data_mining_in_libraries.htm Mining The Library Catalog].
I have a few references to cite on the involvement of Information Visualization specialists in the process of developing a graphical interface for library catlog.
From the above citations, obviously, creating graphical interface is one of the possible ways.
What other ways exist to build a usable, user-friendly library catalog is the crux of the problem.
How best we could apply the Guru's Visual Information-Seeking Mantra in developing library catalogs is an issue, which the Guru himself may be able to guide.
