Data visualization - its power and potential

Sorry that I'm on this info-sharing binge which comes out of the delirious joy that the floor coverage on Saturday afternoon is looking so good :-) :-)

I feel compelled to share this(last one for now)

How wonderful would it be for libraries to role-model cutting edge ways of presenting information as we have students, businessmen, and all sorts of patrons using our spaces, resources, website etc. etc.

Wouldn't it be cool if libraries moved away from the standard methods of print/text/tables/graphs to convey information?

How cool would it be for populations that find it difficult to navigate through text-heavy information when their primary language is not English.

Take a look at the exiciting data visualization methods that are out there today from this link -
