Using Tableau Public to Visualize DMC Equipment Circulation Data

janezhaoLeave a comment

Thanks to the great help of Mang Sun, system librarian, DMC is able to offer its first workshop on Tableau Public in Spring 2017. The Introduction to Tableau Public workshop uses the DMC equipment circulation data as a sample data set to explore basic features and functions of Tableau Public.  You could tell the equipment checkout trend, patterns, and interesting findings based on the data of 2014, 2015, and 2016.

The DMC will offer a custom in-class workshop of Using Juxtapose for Before/After Image Comparisons to HRC Spatial Humanities class at the end of January. JuxtaposeJS is one of a series of tools for content creators produced by the Northwestern University Knight Lab. It is a JavaScript library for making before/after image sliders. When preparing the workshop, Jane collected a few photos of before-and-after-DMC-move-to-FondrenB42. Take a look at the interesting photos below and learn the DMC location/space change over time. Note the DMC moved back to Fondren basement in January 2015. DMC moved into Herring Hall 129 in March 2005 and stayed there for 10 years before moving back.
