ARCHIVE IMPACT PRESENTS A VISUAL INDEXING WORKSHOP Archive Impact invites you to join them at the Science, Industry, & Business Library in New York City to experience an intensive one-day workshop introducing the concepts and methodology of still and moving image indexing. 188 Madison Avenue at 34th Street, New York City Friday, October 1, 1999 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A NEW INDEXING SKILL Archive Impact www.archiveimpact.com 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 New York City 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.
