DENTON — The possibilities for expanding traditional

The lecture, scheduled

The lecture, titled
“Human Knowledge Seeking and Information Visualization:
Exploring New Possibilities,” will feature Dr. Ray Uzwyshyn,
an associate professor and head of the Department of Library
Digital and Learning Technology Programs at the University
of West Florida. Dr. Uzwyshyn states that, before children
can speak or write, they encounter the world through vision,
sound and touch. While many current information systems focus
solely on text-based searching, his lecture will explore current
possibilities and future directions for information systems.
Dr. Uzwyshyn currently
serves as co-chair of the Special Interest Group in Visualization,
Information and Sound for the American Society of Information
Science and Technology.
