Infographics

Infographics: VisFacet Project*VisFacet is a context-sensitive facet included in HUfind

• A visualization module developed for VuFind (the next-generation open-source interface).

• The module is based on the extraction of the library’s MARC records and visualizing the fields 6## including topics, geographical areas and era.

• This module retrieves and represents graphically the collection of facets in a word-cloud form, as a way to enhance search engine results page.

• The module is interactive and configurable; it allows users to narrow or broaden their search result in one single click.

*The VisFacet project was developed with the cooperation between the Azrieli College of Engineering Jerusalem (JCE) and the Library Authority at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem** Hufind is the library catalog of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
