Modifications to CONTENTdm:Metadata Modifications to Enhance
Findability• Most images came with metadata, but it was inconsistent
• Expert faculty, non-expert faculty, and students need to be able to find images in different ways
• Some metadata depends on what the image is; some depends on how the image is used in teaching

Faculty & student feedback
• Faculty survey
• Student focus groups
"I think it is fantastic--far and away the best visual materials we have had"
"I feel confident about my actual ability to use the system…I've also found that its ease of use has encouraged me just to browse the slides more…I am, in short, quite happy with the system."
"Excellent easy access for showing students images in class, for which I'm very grateful."
"The zoom feature is really helpful for viewing details in class...it's also nice when there are multiple shots of something in the database, like the Primaporta, so you can see all different angles."
"The lecture image sets in CONTENTdm were linked from the online course syllabus. I liked how handy it was to access the images outside of class."
