Abstract
Nowadays the amount of books available in libraries has grown rapidly. Readers may find it difficult to decide which book(s) should be borrowed. The log data of loan history is a good source to find popular books that readers may be interested. This paper describes our efforts in exploring various visual techniques to analyze the borrowing history of the books in a university´s library. The visual analysis provides effective way to extract the book usage information and find breakthrough insights. Initial experiment has demonstrated that the proposed approach benefit users in selecting books more effectively.
