A follow-up of the workshop held on February 12 in the frame of the Data Curation Conference (www.dcc.ac.uk/sites/default/files/documents/IDCC15/idcc_data_exploration_12_Feb_2015.pdf ), and in particular in connection with the topic and objectives of the AHRC-funded project Visualising European Crime Fiction (internationalcrimefiction.org/ahrc-project/), the proposed session aims at working with datasets collecting bibliographical and biographical information on a few thousands of crime novels and novelists. The data have been collected from the Paris Crime Fiction Library (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblioth%C3%A8que_des_litt%C3%A9ratures_polici%C3%A8res); the catalogue of the British, French, Italian, and Hungarian national libraries; from Amazon.co.uk and from numerous other bibliograhical sources.

With the help of an expert Tableau professional user, Chris Love (www.theinformationlab.co.uk/author/chris-love/), and the expertise of the scholars involved in the project (Dominique Jeannerod, Andrew Pepper, and Federico Pagello from Queen’s University Belfast; Loic Artiaga; University of Limoges; Sandor Kalai, University of Debrecen), the session will allow the participants to explore the potential of Tableau public to visualise data in a number of different ways.
