  • Abstract
    When people are looking for visual arts information - information related to images - how do they characterize their needs? We analyze a set of 404 queries to identify the attributes that people provide to the Google Answers ™ ´ask an expert´ online reference system. The results suggest directions to take in developing an effective organization and features for an image digital library.
