In addition, it attempted to determine the degree to which textual representations of the image were useful in user's relevance assessments. Data were collected from unstructured interviews and questionnaires. Content analysis and quantitative statistical methods were employed to analyze verbal data and the importance of relevance criteria to see how much each criterion affected the user's judgments. The study involved 38 faculty and graduate students of American history in 1999 in a local setting, using the Library of Congress American Memory photo archives. |
