How will non-historical subject searches be facilitated? For example, if a historian wanted to research images of ancient food preparation, would they be able to do it?
The AMICO Library will be indexed by artist, title, object type, materials and other categories of information typically documented by art scholars. These do not include all the intellectual perspectives that might be of interest to scholars in other fields. AMICO is very interested in encouraging feedback from users about the kinds of indexing that would benefit them and also in incorporating into The AMICO Library access points provided by academic users. Requirements of this kind, and mechanisms for supporting them, are under exploration in the University Testbed.
