If I could read your mind: An exploration of online image searcher's behaviors
Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology · 2013
Abstract This study investigates the roles and usefulness of search characteristics and functionalities for image retrieval in a bilingual context. Using a questionnaire and semi‐structured interviews, data were collected from English and French speaking participants to provide an understanding of how real users search for images online. The results suggested that the image search process still presents difficulties and frustration from the image searchers' point of view. The findings of this stage of the research project constitute the foundation for the development of a bilingual interface for the retrieval of digital images.
