The images shown here are from her latest project created for one of her classes at UCSB. Using one year’s (2008) transaction data from the Seattle Public Library, Ali mapped the number of times each Dewey item (these include books, CD, DVD, etc) was either checked in or checked out from the Library, in order to understand some interesting habits and trends. As you can see from the piece, the “Arts” category clearly dominates over the others, and the largest child of that node is “Music”. Although it’s still work in progress, this visualization sketch is quite promising. (via visualcomplexity.com | Dewey Circles)
