Visual Navigation Project
University of Oslo Library
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.

Simulations
1. Rethink
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
Explorative studies
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, D3js
• Large contrast with existing library catalogs & systems • Need for testing novel tools..
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 &

3. Connect
Lessons along the way… (3)
• 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

Lessons along the way… (4)
• 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…
• 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)
