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. *Workshop Schedule* ******************* 9:00 - 10:30 Still Image Indexing Concepts Overview of the different elements that directly and indirectly impact visual indexing including: scope of the collection, needs of the clients and searchers, types of software, and time frame.
