****Visual Indexing Workshop****
****by Archive Impact****

Atlanta Botanical Garden (http://www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org)
1345 Piedmont Avenue NE (between Monroe and 14th Streets)
Friday, June 16, 2000
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Archive Impact invites you to join them to experience an intensive one-day
workshop introducing the concepts and methodology of still and moving image
indexing in Atlanta's most beautiful setting.
A New Indexing Skill
Archive Impact was started in 1994 by a group of library, archive, and
information science professionals driven to better understand indexing,
accessibility, and retrieval for imagery. Since then, the team has
succeeded in indexing more than 700,000 images and countless hours of
footage for clients across North America. In doing so, they have developed
a strong understanding of visual literacy. Now they have put together a
workshop in which they share their experience and techniques by training
others in visual image indexing.
The Atlanta workshop promises theory, practice, and discussion.
Participants will walk away with an understanding of how to analyze still
and motion imagery. Students are encouraged to participate in the intensive
workgroups and experience for themselves the different ways that people see
the same imagery. Workgroup participants will learn to reach consensus and
consistency through thought provoking group discussion.
