Chapter 3. Visualizations of a Digital Collection’s Data

Abstract

Chapter 3 of Library Technology Reports(vol. 57, no. 1) focuses on basic visualizations created for the Clyde W. Tombaugh Papers digital collection hosted at the NMSU Library. In the context of Tombaugh’s biography and his papers, the selection of graphs provides a range of views that address specific questions about the content and development of the collection. Each plot is accompanied by its brief interpretation and the R script used to create it, as well as its explanation, including operations on data and R functions.
