摘要：The role of information visualization in enhancing communication, understanding and discovery of ideas is well documented [1]. While information visualization capabilities have existed in some form for centuries [2], providing these capabilities in an academic library is new. At their best, visualization applications are powerful explanation, decision-making and discovery tools for researchers. The library is a logical hub of information expertise for researchers to be able to access and utilize these resources. In 2004 the Health Sciences Library (HSL) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) [3] partnered with the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) [4] to build and provide visualization infrastructure and expertise as one of the keystone services of its new Collaboration Center.
