data visualisation for libraries
DESCRIPTION
Libraries are the local hub of knowledge. So how we can they use data and datavis to help the community engage with even more knowledge? We gave a short presentation at the State Library of NSW about data and data visualisation for libraries, organised by RISG http://referenceandinformationservices.wetpaint.com/ Thanks Ellen! https://twitter.com/ellenforsyth for inviting us to speak.TRANSCRIPT

Create a webpage with all your data resources as downloads or links (PDFs, spreadsheets, CSVs)
Create a database for people to use, that lets them make custom queries
Create an API (application programming interface) so that the data can be used everywhere
MOST ACCESSIBLE
