- 3. ‘Digital turn’ Gradual decline of physical access to books §
- 4. However, digital “impoverished” compared to physical (Pomerantz & Marchionini, 2007) Loss of open exploration, serendipity, immersion, touch (McKay et al, 2017; Björneborn, 2008; Blandford et al, 2006)
- 5. Konsepter: Increasing role of libraries as a social space (Pomerantz & Marchionini, 2007)

- 22. Explorative studies Lessons along the way… (1) • Commonalities & differences (observ.) • Encourage users to use library services (intvw.) • “On the fence” - Stimulate curiosity, “surprise” • Rethink "classical" library catalog interaction (query) • Utilizing usage logs & data for improvement • “Personalizing" approaches • Support study & leisure (brainst.) • “Collaborate, Create, Personalize, Explore, Simulate, Relax, Search, Navigate”

- 30. Scatterplots horizontal: DDC, vertical: Amazon rating Lessons along the way… (2) • 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, D3 • Large contrast with existing library catalogs & systems • Need for testing novel tools..

- 50. Lessons along the way… (3) • A new object in the library..! • “What is it?” “A touch table?” “Is it a freezer?” • …some encouragement needed • “Touch me!” icon • Opportunities for integrating apps into library space • Discussing 10 examples of touch apps • Collection-focused: Science Fiction • Event-focused: Abel Prize, Hidden Figures, .. • Exhibition-focused: Bonnevie • Integrative approaches

- 61. The event-based applications shown in reading room and foyer were each used in 200-300 sessions during a temporary exhibition of approx. 4 weeks. How many people used the apps? Variety of numbers • depending on placement (in foyer, reading room, sci-fi collection, exhibition) • and placement duration (usually 2-4 weeks, sometimes longer)
- 62. Note: ‘honey pot’ effect (Brignull & Rogers, 2003) at times, multiple people use a touch app simultaneously How many people used the apps?
- 63. Can a touch app increase collection use? Before: 29 sci-fi loans (3 in touch app) for a 3 week period: After: 81 sci-fi loans (11 in touch app) +279% (+366%) ;-)
- 64. Lessons along the way… (4) • Developing a “toolbox” for analytics b/o usage data • microticks: gather data • python scripts: automatically summarize data • Monitoring and detecting issues • navigation: “clicks leading to nowhere”, swipes • Unused app content (depth vs breadth) • (Re)designs based on usage data • Substantial usage of touch apps • 1.000+ sessions (for 6 apps w/logs in different locations) • Increase* of use SciFi collection
- 65. 5. Document & share

- 70. to be published Upcoming paper 5. Document & share download: noril.uib.no
- 71. @BookNavigation 5. Document & share bit.ly/VisualNavigationProject
- 72. • Project background • Explorative studies • Visualizing library (meta)data • Connecting digital & physical • Documenting & sharing 6. Conclusion
- 73. Lessons along the journey…
- 74. General outcomes • Applications • how can we categorize created applications? • Guides & Tutorials • how to create apps, visualize library-related data? • Reports & Papers • what can we learn theoretically & practically? • Supportive Tools & Datasets • which tools & datasets can assist?
- 75. The collection in a new light.. • The project has shown that more visual approaches to navigation are feasible • That they bring considerable numbers of users in contact with digital & physical collections • Thus, these approaches can bring the collection in a new light
- 76. The Value of… 1. Exploration 2. Data 3. Collaboration 4. Documentation & reuse 5. User Experience 6. Content
- 77. 1. Value of exploration
- 78. 1. Importance of exploration • Traditional user studies • Observations, surveys, transaction log study • ‘Out of the box’ inspiration via open-ended studies • brainstorms, gigamapping, interviews
- 79. 2. Importance of data • Metadata: Use and enrichment • subject headings, classification, external data • covers, abstracts, … • Usage statistics • Oria • Custom-made tools (e.g. touch apps)
- 80. 3. Importance of collaboration • Relatively small project team (FTEs), but • Collaboration subject specialists, event organisers, designers, .. “everything in-house” • “Library of our imagination” (motivation) • Collaboration w/ informatics (int. design) • Inspiration students • Support of student projects (see e.g. Culen & Gasparini, 2015)
- 81. Examples: Collaboration Book Motion (2013) Real Fiction (2017)
- 82. 4. Value of documentation & reuse • Community building • Updates via website, social media • Sharing code via Github (scriptotek) • Meetups & workshops for outreach and teaching • Pragmatic approach - ‘Not reinventing the wheel’ • Purchase modules (eg pdf-reader), if needed • Use of frameworks (e.g. XIMPEL.net)
- 83. 5. Value of UX • “Nothing is as self-evident as it seems” • E.g. user expectations, unclear navigation • Before release: user testing • After release: keep monitoring possible issues •
- 85. 5. Belang van UX • “Nothing is as self-evident as it seems” • E.g. user expectations, unclear navigation • Before release: user testing • After release: keep monitoring possible issues • Challenge: Optimizing for “first interaction” • Goal of app, target audience • “Attract screen”, app structure
- 86. …optimizing… Higher depth of interaction in optimized apps
- 87. 6. Value of Content • Appropriately dynamic content • frequent shifting of applications • retain curiosity in applications & touch table • Appropriately relevant content • Relevant to interests, study, level, etc. • Opportunity: personalization
- 89. The Value of… 1. Exploration 2. Data 3. Collaboration 4. Documentation & reuse 5. User Experience 6. Content Opportunity: library is the perfect place for all this!
