Visualising St Bride Library's collection
Visualisation of the St Bride Library collection showing the library’s classification hierarchy and volume of information per subject. Each spot represents a class, the size of the spot represents the volume of information within the class, the position of the spot shows it’s place within the classification hierarchy and the colours show the type of information (historical, artistic etc).
The print is an example of a visualisation method that could be applied to any library with a similar system – which would enable comparison between libraries and reveal those with more/less information on particular subjects.
