University image bank

Some years ago we implemented document management using a tier one product called Stellent (rebranded e-pository by a supplier not the best name in the world usually rename suppository). One of the things we had a go at was an image bank. I logged in today thanks to Richard as fogotten the password (and its not LDAP at present?).

There are 7 images in the e-pository image bank system (that's all). The "real" image bank has many thousands of course but they are on hard disk and CD presumably. Obviously a pilot that never got going. Presumably due to being a bit clunky or slow but functionality is good.

On Flickr there are already 2,345 images matching Bradford and University - and some of them are BRILLIANT. Work done by others - presumably no copyright as already public domain?? I'm not clued up on that so may be wrong. Comments welcome. I've put the 7 e-pository images into flickr and tagged them with bradforduniversityimagebank so put that in and those 7 should come up. I've made it deliberately difficult! It took a couple of minutes to create a flickr account and then upload these images as I use photobox for personal images thanks to Drew's recommendation - as an aside they are based in Huddersfield so your photos are genuinely 12 hours keyboard to door!

On Photobucket there are only 76 images - but then its not as popular??

On Youtube there are 550 videos tagged with Bradford University

The University of Pittsburgh in Bradford has a Youtube Channel!!
