Subject Enhancement: Report on an Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
This report describes an experiment in subject enhancement conducted at an academic research library. Subjects and contents notes were added to online catalog records for a group of previously uncirculated social science essay collections, and circulation was monitored over one academic year. A control group, plus a third group with added contents notes but no extra sub. jects, were also monitored. Results showed an improvement in recorded use for the subject-enhanced titles, but not for titles that only had added contents notes. The effects of browsing, keyword searching, and OPAC display are discussed, and suggestions made for further research in this area.

متن کاملImage enhancement for the visually impaired: the effects of enhancement on face recognition.
Image enhancement has been shown to improve face recognition by visually impaired observers. We conducted three experiments in an effort to refine our understanding of the parameters leading to this effect. In experiment 1 we found that the band of spatial frequencies between 4 and 8 cycles/face is critical for face recognition. In experiment 2 we found that enhancement of these frequencies and...
