Hello,
We've published the report about motivations and usage of the Tate online
collection on the website. Here is a link to a blog post that summarises
some of the findings and includes a link to download the full report in
PDF.

We have been doing other research about the online collection using also
analytics and heatmap tools. This includes what people search on the
website. We will be blogging soon to discuss some of these findings and our
thinking to reshape and incorporate some features to improve the online
collection pages in the coming months as part of the digitisation of the
Tate Archive (

)
Best regards

> Rosenfeld Media is his publishing company. I've read a couple of their

> Rosenfeld's most famous book (with Peter Morville) is "Information
> Architecture for the World Wide Web" - which covers browsing behaviour and

> All the best.
