Abstract

In a two year microscopy teaching program which includes 18 microscopy courses, there are thousands of images which must be collected from a variety of input devices running on various platforms. These must then be associated with different types of data files that need to be tagged to reports as well as being tagged to projects and courses. All of this information must be accessible, first to all those involved with doing the project as well as to anyone associated with needing the results. Tracking progress and security issues had to be part of the solution. It was also necessary that all of this take minimum staff time. Thus, we had to not only set up an image database, but truly an asset management system. Although it certainly would be possible to develop one’s own system, we are limited in staff time for such a project, and certainly didn’t want to re-invent the wheel if such a product was commercially available.
