Quick and Easy Data Visualization with Google Visualization API and Google Chart Libraries
* 'No' previous Code4Lib presentations
Do most of the data that your library collects stay in spreadsheets or are published as a static table with a series of boring numbers? Do your library stakeholders spend more time collecting the data than using it as a decision-making tool because the data is presented in a way that makes it hard for them [http://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery to quickly grasp its significance? [1]
This talk will provide an overview of [http://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference Google Visualization API ] [2] and [http://developers.google.com/chart/ Google Chart Libraries ] [3] to get you started on the way to quickly query and visualize your library data from remote data sources (e.g. a Google Spreadsheet or your own database) with (or without) cool-looking user-controls, animation effects, and even a dashboard.
