The SkyView virtual observatory provides a single, simple interface where users can retrieve images of the sky at all wavelengths from the radio through gamma rays. Below we discuss how SkyView works and how it represents a new paradigm in astronomical data archives. Users get to SkyView over the WorldWideWeb at http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov.
