The Chemistry Biology Pharmacy Information Center of the Federal Institute of Technology (Zurich, Switzerland) has mashed a Geographic Information System (GIS) with library usage and holdings data to create Several Most Impressive Visualizations
Shelf occupation
Circulations 2008
Acquisitions 2008
Distribution of publication years (as of end of 2008)
Current circulations
Current acquisitions of this month
Missing works (all works missing since 2001, current)
Relative usage of circulations (Number of circulations / number of titles on shelf, as of end of 2008)
Relative usage of titles (Used titles / number of titles on shelf, as of end of 2008)
