Abstract

A streaming collage visualization of images extracted from the collection's documents has been proposed as an effective tool for gaining a comprehensive overview of a digital library collection ("collection understanding"). A qualitative study provides insight into what users actually understand about a collection from viewing such a streaming collage.
