Visualizing Digital Libraries

"Presenting digital information, navigation in search of it, and the techniques employed by search engines to find it, have become intimately entwined. For these reasons, this discussion will roam beyond the narrow subject of effective visual presentation of search results and cover the closely related matters of navigation and searching. The discussion will first identify ""ideal"" features in the presentation of online search results. Next, it will survey presentation tools and/or services (especially those that use visualizing techniques) that now exist on the Web. Finally, it will report on searching/navigation/presentation tools of unusual promise."published or submitted for publicatio
