- Abstract
- This paper describes a prototype World Wide Web-accessible database of slide images developed for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication Library, and a pilot study conducted with prospective users of the slide images. The purpose of the pilot study was to observe information-seeking behaviors and strategies with reference to image data, and to investigate the role of domain expertise in determining these behaviors and strategies. Five journalism faculty members and six journalism students completed retrieval tasks using the slide database. They then completed a questionnaire about their experiences. Results showed that keyword or full text searching is preferred over browsing for structured retrieval tasks, and that the students were more likely to use the thumbnail image to pare down a result set, while faculty were more likely to use the text descriptions for this purpose. Suggestions for further study are given.
