    Picture 1We recently installed our new Image Management System, provided by Extensis Portfolio. Initially the system will house our collection of digitised slides over at Sion Hill, but will later be offered throughout the University as an image repository solution.

    To coincide with the launch of our new system, we need a name! Below is an anonymous form which will allow you to send your suggestions. Once I have recieved the suggestions I will put all appropriate names to the vote via the blog.
