Abstract Information visualization offers an opportunity to provide quick overviews and support exploration of the information landscape. However, there are many visualization techniques and layouts to choose from and some designs work better than others. The poster presents four hierarchical layouts developed in our FrbrVis prototype to display bibliographic work families and looks at user's perceptions of the layouts gathered through a usability study. The results of reaction cards and interviews show that the radial layout was perceived least favorably while sunburst received the highest number of positive comments.
