User Evaluation in the Retrieval of Digital Art Images
Introduction
Thank you for agreeing to participate in our research project. Before you begin, please complete the consent form.

This project was originally designed by the SLIS Indexing and Abstracting class, Summer 1997, to provide access to the Bryant Art Images Collection, an online collection of sixty-six digital Caribbean Art images by various artists. It is estimated that 400 hours were spent on the project. The majority of time was spent actually determining the index terms to be used for the images.
The expected results include support for the need of improved browsing tools, image manipulation software, feedback mechanisms, query analysis, and the role of user evaluation in retrieval.
Thank you for participating in our research in the retrieval of digital art images.
