Simmons ASIS&T in partnership with the Research Colloquium Series are sponsoring a talk about Information Visualization with G. Benoit on Tuesday, March 4th 12pm-1pm in Palace Road Building Room 308.

Information Visualization is no longer the domain of statisticians and the graphic designer. The volume of Internet-available data, the popularization of the topic, the greater ease of creating design, and more powerful computers combine to suggest that Information Visualization could be an important tool in our work and daily lives. This talk is a brief review of the background of visuals, their application in information professions, and some of the issues facing the future of InfoVis.
