2. Visual Navigation Project outcomes




bit.ly/VisualNavigationProject






in collaboration with Department of Informatics

by support of the National Library of Norway

start: Sept. 2016. duration two years

Three project streams…

Physical interaction (2)

Visualization (1) Visual navigation

prototypes

Continuation (3) Extended Emnesøk

interface

Enhanced data &infrastructure

1. Visual NavigationCreate new interfaces f/visual book browsing and navigation, using infrastructure vocabularies

2. Physical InteractionExplore novel interaction with library materials, e.g. via touch screen, touch table, etc.

3. Continuation and Extension Extend subject search infrastructure and interface, add vocabularies

Sep. Okt. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun.

Explorative studies

Lessons along the way… (1)

• Commonalities & differences (observ.)

• Support study & leisure (brainst.) • “Collaborate, Create, Personalize, Explore, Simulate,

Relax, Search, Navigate”

• Encourage users to use library services (intvw.) • Stimulate curiosity, “surprise”

• Rethink "classical" library catalog interaction (query) • Utilizing usage logs & data for improvement • “Personalizing" approaches

2. Visualize

Explorative studies


• Importance of data• Enrich existing catalog data (covers, abstracts) • Utilize subject vocabularies & mappings

• Suitability data, visualization & screen size • some visualizations don’t ‘fit’ the data • some visualizations don’t ‘fit’ the screen

• Usefulness of existing frameworks to speedup development • For instance, D3js

• Large contrast with existing library catalogs & systems • Need for testing novel tools..

3. Connect

Stream 2: Physical Interaction

• Stream 1 & 3 build on top of existing work and infrastructure

• Approach Stream 2: experiment with novel ways of interaction in physical space • with library’s book

collections • experiments with a touch

table (Science Library) • Includes an INF2260 project &

• Opportunities for integrating apps into library space• Collection-focused: Science Fiction• Event-focused: Abel Prize, Hidden Figures

• A new object in the library..! • “What is it?” “A touch table?” “Is it a freezer?”

• …some encouragement needed • “Touch me!” icon

• Gaining experience in touch app development• Practical issues (design f/touch, ‘kiosk’, content ..) • Understandability & usability • Re-usability

• Monitoring and detecting issues• navigation: “clicks leading to nowhere”, swipes • Unused app content (depth vs breadth)

• Redesign based on usage data • e.g. Hidden Figures: after two weeks

• Developing a “toolbox” for analytics b/o usage data • microticks: gather data • python scripts: automatically summarize data

• One chance for a good impression• Optimize for first interaction (importance of content) • Match user interests…

5. Document & share


5. Document & share

• Design and development

• Emnesøk (subject search)

• Personalization (RFID scanning)

• Lowering the barriers to application creation

• Dissemination

• Integration of tools in regular (online) infrastructure

• Check options for online publication of apps (rights, etc)

(Some) Next Steps:



• 13:30: Demos are set-up of the various prototypes created in the Visual Navigation project. Move around, discuss, write down comments and ideas.


• 13:45: Presentation by Mike Nutt and Walt Gurley, NCSU Libraries












• 14:30: End of workshop. Possibility to check out touch table.
