Hi Dorothy, I'm not sure what you mean about "qualitative data visualization" but I am curious to hear more about your interests and plans. Could you provide an example of a qualitative visualization you find inspiring?
With regards to research of GLAMs, I'm not aware of scholarly research that looks specifically at their impact. I'd be happy to help you find datasets and generate random samples for qualitative analysis. -Aaron On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 3:02 PM, Dorothy Howard <[email protected]>wrote: > Dear All, > > My name is Dorothy Howard and I'm a Wikipedian-in-Residence at a library > consortium called > METRO<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Metropolitan_New_York_Library_Council>in > New York. > > I'm reaching out because I have a friend and colleague from a > non-Wikipedia job that is interested specifically in qualitative data > visualization and is a researcher at the Parsons Institute for Information > Mapping at the New School. > > After attending the Chapters Dialogue conference in Berlin and seeing the > result of the WMF sponsored chapters dialogue research, a portion of which > was qualitative- I became more interested in thinking about how we can use > qualitative (not exclusively- also interested in quantitative) data > visualization to model our movement on a national or even more local scale. > > My colleague at the New School is interested in pursuing this type of > research and I am writing to inquire for someone to talk with more about > these matters and the potential to develop some steps forward.
