Media Arts and Technology

Basically, my idea is to visualize the top 100 cities in the world according to their checked out book in SPL and make a prediction on how hot will these cities be in the following year.

I want to correlate the data of checked out books from Seattle Public Library and the data of articles containing key words “China” and “Japan” in New York Times from the year 2005 to 2011.

calculate the quantity of books checked out about football, baseball, basketball and hockey in recent years to form a map.

Sports are very popular in the US, so I want to find if the quantity of books checked out is in accordance with the popularity and game time of several popular sports.
