Kickoff Meeting
On November 26, 2015, we will organize a kickoff meeting. The workshop has four aims:
- investigate how librarians and library users can use (geo-)visualization techniques to manage, explore, and comprehend library collections,
- present ongoing research in the eHumanities that uses such visualization techniques,
- provide a forum for researchers in the library sector, the fields of algorithms, information visualization and visual analytics, and the eHumanities to meet and to discuss possibilities for collaboration,
- kick-off the NWO Creative Industries project Visual Analytics for the World’s Library Data.
