Summary
This week, we started to evaluate how current applications (e.g. subject search) can be extended and improved at a practical level, including the underlying infrastructure. Furthermore we started to create design mockups for book navigation, which will continue in the following weeks. Finally, a touch table (originating from the Informatics department) was brought to the Science Library, and informatics students (interaksjonsdesign) tested a prototype application aimed at increasing engagement with the Science Fiction collection of the library.
Specific activities
-
Configuring previously developed applications (e.g. subject search) to work with Hugo’s PC configuration, to initiate prototype designing and testing; discussing infrastructure extensions and enrichments (Hugo, Dan Michael)
-
Creating designs and mockups of book navigation and visualization options
-
(INF2260 students, Kyrre, Hugo, Yaron, Espen) Transporting touch table and getting it to work with the students’ prototype application
-
Planning various meetings, invitations to present
-
Presentation query analysis Hugo at meeting BIBSYS Working Group (Norway-7 dec)
-
Presentation Vis. Nav. project by Dan Michael, Hugo at meeting project Mapping to Norwegian WebDewey (7 dec); discussing connection points
-
Presentation query analysis Hugo at Alma / Oria information meeting UiO (8 dec)
-
Create news item about touch table evaluation
Meetings, including
Meeting Hugo, Knut
- Discussing his previous work (e.g. on FRBR in the library system, objectives of cataloging and ways to support FRBR in the library catalog)
- Discussing the history of the realfagstermer, and how its subjects, form/genres, time periods, geographic names and compound concepts were created and processed (important for using them in visual navigation tools)
Meeting students INF2260, Espen, Kyrre, Hugo; testing touch table, exchanging touch table (16.11.16)
- Getting the touch table to work (software/hardware); exchanging the computer inside
- Testing the application developed by the student
