Overview and Databases
JPL Library Subject Guides highlight resources in our Library on specific topics. This guide covers resources on visualization, and is periodically updated. “Data visualization” is a hot topic, but it has been growing as a field of study during the last fifteen to twenty years. It is closely related to “information visualization,” “information design,” and “scientific visualization.” It can even trace its origins from statistical graphics and engineering drawings. JPL Library staff reviewed our book collection, and compiled the following lists for anyone interested to learn more about this topic.
You must have a valid JPL badge to directly borrow or download any items cited on this guide.
However, if you are reading this guide and are at another organization, you may work with your organization or public library to borrow print copies from JPL via interlibrary loan. Electronic copies are not available outside of JPL.
