This visualization demonstrates the geographic distribution of artists' books by filtering MARCXML records according to publication location codes, then organizing them into a simple table. It shows which US states and territories are represented in the source collection, with each row containing the record’s leader, normalized title, and three-letter location code. The XQuery script uses the `fn:doc()` function to fetch remote XML, the `marc` namespace to parse MARC fields, and `csv:serialize()` from the BaseX or eXist-db library to generate a CSV output. Titles are cleaned by stripping trailing slashes and normalizing whitespace via string functions.
