Abstract
The current AAT user base consists primarily of visual re source collections and archives which process and analyze such "non-book" materials as slides (36%), photographs (17%), archival materials (21%), and other visual materials (19%). Another important group of users are abstracting and indexing projects (9%) who analyze the contents of scholarly journals and other publications. Most have become inter ested in the AAT because they are creating computerized databases (80%) and require a standard descriptive vocabu lary. The primary subject areas of these collections are archi tecture (43%) or art history and fine arts (43%).
