Biblhertz.it Library/Design Drafts

UIE

The aim is to provide the library section with a clear information architecture. External visitors should be able to distinguish between types of services (metasearch, archives, internal resources) and to realize overlappings between services.

Screen design drafts have already been delivered by an agency but do not meet the requirements of the library information architecture where repositories are scattered and partly overlapping. This 'service landscape' needs to be more transparent for users.



User Interface Engineering will provide first ideas for possible visualizations until the next meeting.

The first approach is to think of a proper visualization. Transforming a certain structure into a visible and interactive element on the interface can be done in various forms.

Please keep in mind: The following pictures are thoughts only without proper design or content.

Abstract

Depends on how complex the structure is. Would be quite neutral amids surroundings.





GIU Integrated

More development effort, only simple structures are possible.
