Library and Information services has now purchased a new image management system from Extensis. The product is called Portfolio, which in colloboration with another Extensis product called Netpublish allows us to catalogue thousands of copyright cleared images, before making them available via an internal website. The system has been made available for hosting digitised slides at Sion Hill, but departments will be later offered the opportunity to store and maintain their own image assets through the system.

The system will be branded and promoted to Art students and staff throughout September, giving users the opportunity to search and download from the collection anywhere on campus via an interface comparible to Google Images.
