Visualisation of library data

GIS (geographical information systems) are finding their way into the Information Center. Well, the geographical location is limited to the Information Center's facility, but at least. Let you display bibliotheconomic parameters such as circulations, shelf occupation in %, distribution of publication years and other on a floor plan. If you mouse over a shelf, additional information (location, data, classification of systematic shelfing) is shown. With some visualisations, clicking a shelf with the mouse links to the corresponding information in our CLICAPS WebOPAC. Dragging the sliders (the grey triangles) in the legend allows to confine the displayed data.

System requirements for data visualisation: Java browser plugin, Java Run Time Environment version 1.4 or later.
Because of the large information amount data is displayed in a Java applet of 1200 pixel x 800 pixel size. A wide screen is recommended.
