Mozilla was originally formed from the ruins of Netscape, a pioneeringbrowser that was seen off by Internet Explorer. Before it died, Netscape relicensed its browseras Open Source. It became the Mozilla Project and Firefox was the browser. The bare-bonesnature of the original Firefox led to a virtuous circle where the released browser became popular,the developers took advantage of the easily installable add-ons to create more add-ons andfeatures, and the popularity of the add-ons lead to more people

, analyzing, and interpreting bibliometric dataremains a challenge. Applying information visualization techniques to bibliometric maps creates graphicalrepresentations that enhance users’ understanding of network structure. With the increasing availability ofsophisticated tools that allow for easy data analysis, mapping bibliometric data has become more accessible tolibrarians.This paper examines the value of visualizing bibliometric data. Specifically, it relates the experience of usingthe Sci2 Tool to analyze the data collected for a citation analysis project and to visualize the co-authors, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling networks revealed by that analysis. Furthermore, it discusses thechallenges encountered while using the Sci2 Tool for

While there were several other items with a negative association, noneof the others were significant at the p < 0.05 level. In comparison to the item analysis of theCELT instrument, items 3 and 15 both had very low item discrimination values as determined bythe point biserial correlation, and thus were determined to be poor items11.

It is importantthat librarians understand the substantial time commitment involved in participation in systematicreview projects, and that there is consideration in their institution of whether such support is to beroutinely offered, or whether it becomes part of a fee-for-service scheme.

After joining the University of Michigan Library in 2009, the majority of her time and effort has been dedicated to textbook initiatives at the University of Michigan Library. Her research orientation and knowledge of both quantitative and qualitative methodological techniques has enabled her to conduct several textbook-related studies that examine and assess a wide range of potential roles the Library can play in increasing textbook affordability for the Michigan scholarly community. Natsuko most recently served as a project manager for the campus-wide eTextbook Initiative led by the
