Background
California Digital Library serves the entire UC system: more than 35 million bibliographic records in the combined catalog
Need to be able to find patterns in this data in order to develop better services and tools
![Page 3: Bibliographic Information Visualization and Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac5550346895d8e98a9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Project Goal
Facilitate exploration of items in bibliographic collections using brushing and linking techniques
Key concepts of interest Circulation patterns by general subject area Circulation patterns by time The relationship of circulation to holdings

Targeted Audience
California Digital Library Staff Characteristics
Develop tools and programs to serve all UC campuses
Not involved with day-to day workings of the libraries, but many are ex-librarians
One related project: improving the quality of information retrieval

Related Work
PaperLens Overview of collection along defined axes Ability to zoom in and see patterns within a subset Ability to highlight an item and see details,
additional patterns within the collection

Dataset
Sample data (from UCLA) 320 randomly selected items Related circulation data Mid-1999 - mid-2005 All these items circulate (which is only true for
about 25% of the entire collection) This small set is being used to test the general
visualization approach; we will be working with a much larger set eventually

Our Prototype

Visual Components
Bar Graphs Small multiples segment data by subject Bars indicate number of circulation transactions,
by time Scatter plots
More detail, new dimension within subject/time Item Detail
Temporal pattern at item level

The Software Debate
Tableau Small multiples but no brushing and linking
Spotfire Brushing and linking, but no small multiples
Our Choice JpGraph: PHP graphics package backed by a
MySQL database

Issues Size of dataset
Complexity of metadata
Data transformations
What sampling technique to use ?
Limitations of JpGraph

Future Work
Expand the dataset
Make interface more intuitive Support filtering by subject and time at the outset Make timeline presentation of item-level
circulation pattern Solicit and incorporate feedback from target
audience
