Visual analytics is a special form of visualization that implies that visual representations (e.g., charts, maps, graphs, tables and so on) should be interactive (i.e. users should be able to change them: filter, animate, select and perform other manipulations). Interactive visual representations (such as time series graphs, time maps, animated charts) are becoming popular additions to library websites and catalogs. They are used for showing statistics about library usage and telling stories about library services and collections. This 4-week workshop introduces participants to D3.js (Data-Driven Documents), one of the fastest growing JavaScript-based open-source visualization libraries that allows web site designers to create interactive visualizations. Participants will also learn how to adapt existing open-source representations available in D3.js library for their own needs. Some comfort with JavaScript is assumed. (Our course titled Introduction to Client-Side Web Scripting would be good preparation.)

Olga Buchel holds a PhD in Library and Information Science from the University of Western Ontario. Her specialization is in geodigital libraries, having worked at the Alexandria Digital Library, one of the first libraries to offer geospatial searches. For her dissertation she developed an interactive visualization for a book collection. She has taught on geodigital libraries at the University of Western Ontario.
