• Located within the Bronx Zoo
• Library was founded in 1909
• Archives was established in 1979
• Most of the archives are housed in
the original library building
• Collections include print and
digital resources on conservation,
veterinary medicine, animal
behavior, and other wildlife topics
• Photo Archives & Digital Asset
Management Internship
• Responsible for three projects:
1. Digitization of Department of
Tropical Research historical photos
2. Digital asset management (DAM)
of new image collections
3. Assessment of new metadata
vocabularies & user evaluation
survey
• Widen is the DAM
system used by WCS
Library & Archives
• Institutional users can use
Widen to access digital
images by category or
keyword search
• Metadata is added to
digital image assets using
Adobe Bridge
• Created and provided a survey to
50 institutional users
• Suggested 20 possible terms
asking whether or not they are
useful for searchability
• Received and analyzed 23
responses
• Terms suggested by the site
supervisor and me performed well
• Users provided valuable
comments
• Find the frequency of vocabulary
terms in online resources
• Evaluate media that is specific to
only animals
• Used 20 terms coming from a
combination of the user survey,
comments from survey responses,
and my own choices not in survey
• Collect data from 12 online
resources containing a large number
of animal photographs and then
normalize and find trends
• Terms from user comments
performed very well
• Zoo-affiliated resources had very
different results from resources not
affiliated with zoos
• Conservation, baby, male and
female, group, keeper, and family
were the highest-scoring terms
• Many terms scored well in some
resources but poorly in others
• The context of the resources used makes
a large difference in the results
• Metadata vocabularies made for the
correct subject but in the wrong context
might not be useful to users
• This study does not take into account
whether terms are subjective or otherwise
difficult to use in metadata vocabularies
• Since user-provided terms did quite well,
it was immensely helpful to perform the
user survey before gathering this data
• The process of creating a useful
metadata vocabulary requires a
multi-faceted approach
• The users of a collection are the
best source for ideas and insight
into metadata term selection

A Living Archive

  • 1.
  • 2. • Located within the Bronx Zoo • Library was founded in 1909 • Archives was established in 1979 • Most of the archives are housed in the original library building • Collections include print and digital resources on conservation, veterinary medicine, animal behavior, and other wildlife topics
  • 3. • Photo Archives & Digital Asset Management Internship • Responsible for three projects: 1. Digitization of Department of Tropical Research historical photos 2. Digital asset management (DAM) of new image collections 3. Assessment of new metadata vocabularies & user evaluation survey
  • 4. • Widen is the DAM system used by WCS Library & Archives • Institutional users can use Widen to access digital images by category or keyword search • Metadata is added to digital image assets using Adobe Bridge
  • 5.
  • 6. • Created and provided a survey to 50 institutional users • Suggested 20 possible terms asking whether or not they are useful for searchability • Received and analyzed 23 responses • Terms suggested by the site supervisor and me performed well • Users provided valuable comments
  • 7.
  • 8. • Find the frequency of vocabulary terms in online resources • Evaluate media that is specific to only animals • Used 20 terms coming from a combination of the user survey, comments from survey responses, and my own choices not in survey • Collect data from 12 online resources containing a large number of animal photographs and then normalize and find trends
  • 9. • Terms from user comments performed very well • Zoo-affiliated resources had very different results from resources not affiliated with zoos • Conservation, baby, male and female, group, keeper, and family were the highest-scoring terms • Many terms scored well in some resources but poorly in others
  • 10.
  • 11. • The context of the resources used makes a large difference in the results • Metadata vocabularies made for the correct subject but in the wrong context might not be useful to users • This study does not take into account whether terms are subjective or otherwise difficult to use in metadata vocabularies • Since user-provided terms did quite well, it was immensely helpful to perform the user survey before gathering this data
  • 12. • The process of creating a useful metadata vocabulary requires a multi-faceted approach • The users of a collection are the best source for ideas and insight into metadata term selection To review the complete methodology and results of this study, visit: http://zoocabulary.wordpress.com
