Abstract:
We announce the opening of the NCSA Astronomy Digital Image Library
(URL = http://imagelib.ncsa.uiuc.edu/imagelib.html). The mission of
the Library is to collect fully processed astronomical images in FITS
format and make them available to the research community and the
general public via the World Wide Web. Users may search the Library's
contents, browse preview images, and download the full FITS images.
All items contained in the Library may either be accessed via the HTML
interface or through unique URLs. The latter method allows for easy
linking to Library items from other databases or hypertext documents
on the Web. The Library is expected to provide many benefits not only
to users retrieving information but also to authors who add to the
images in the Library's collection.
