Network concepts are being applied in a variety of fields to support visual exploratory analyses. This project uses data generated in LIS 643 and network visualization software used in LIS 658 to analyze participants’ grouping of web pages during a cardsort exercise and explores the efficacy of using network visualizations of this data. Creating small structure-­level networks with data derived from two user studies, the goal was to examine the system of connections between the websites’ content and if the visualizations expressed these connections more clearly than traditional forms of card sort analysis.
