code4lib: Erik Hatcher Keynote
1 Mar 07
“When I woke up this morning, I heard a disturbin’ sound!”
– jingle-jangle of a thousand lost books. . . .
EH is a card-carrying library geek – love’s books
Recommends Ambient Findability
– you can’t use what you can’t find
Timeline

Solr Flare
Solr Flare
– all about sets; venn diagrams and data visualization
– tags/keywords create custom sets
facets: to show the entire universe (or subset thereof, same diff) of objects divided by attributes
Erik showed, live, a few examples of how totally Solr Flare rocks
– chinese collection from UVa
– his personal collection, scanned using Delicious Library
– pledges by the end of the day to write an import filter for iTunes library
Future is bright
– still proof of concept
– availability needs to be incorporated
– saved searches has been added at preconf
– facet visualizations of various types need developing (clouds, sortable lists, maps, timelines, set diagrams. . .)
