An imaging station is available during office hours to those with
Sharkestra (whale) accounts.  Blindcat is a Sun located in LH428
outfitted with a video frame capture board and camera and a color
scanner.

If you haven't had your departmental photo taken yet, you're encouraged
to do so at your convenience.  Instructions for using the imaging station
are provided below.  These same instructions are posted near blindcat.


                          WHERE THE IMAGES ARE

Existing departmental photos are available in:

    /l/fotos/gif/USER.gif		GIF format
 or /l/www/foto/USER.gif

    /l/fotos/xbm/USER			XBM format

Tiny versions of these photos have also been installed in the faces
databases so they'll show up when using faces(1), exmh(1) and our
WWW-Finger gateway.


                    WHAT THE IMAGES WILL BE USED FOR

We plan to use the departmental photos in a departmental personnel
directory available through the Web.  If you wish to keep access to your
images restricted for intra-departmental purposes only, drop a note to
fotos-admin@cs.indiana.edu to that effect.


           HOW TO SUBMIT AN IMAGE TO THE DEPARTMENTAL PHOTOS

You can place a copy of an image file of yourself in /l/fotos/incoming
to submit it for further processing and installation in the departmental
photos collection.  This image file may be one you already have from
elsewhere, or one taken with blindcat's camera, or one scanned in from
a paper photograph on blindcat's scanner.
