Data Journalism

We watched a video featuring a presentation by Andrew Flowers about how he and his team at FiveThirtyEight use R for analyzing and visualizing data used for news stories. We also looked at some notable examples of data-driven journalism that featured great graphics:

• Shifting Incomes for American Jobs
• A History of Sumo

Library Dashboards

We looked at the way a couple of libraries offer data about library services and collections in compact and detailed ways:

• Georgia Tech
• Lincoln University (NZ)

New Interfaces

We watched a bit of the video from Ex Libris showing some of the new features and design elements in beta interface for Primo (more details here). We also looked at the new e-journal portal interface from Serials Solutions that Molloy College has already set up.

Open Collections Librarian

We talked about the newly opened position for an open collections librarian here.
