The graphic design firm that does our print work has also been helpful when we have a particularly intractable image that needs more than my rudimentary skills. In the area of graphics, you will probably need to do a little investigating on your own to find the combination of available resources that will meet your needs. Spending a little time surfing your institution's Web sites looking at student, faculty and staff home pages may point you toward a resource person. The staff at the computer labs is another resource. Happily, most of the people who are working on World Wide Web site development have a strong evangelistic streak, and will drop just about anything to help create another True Believer.
Students seem to take particular delight in helping out older users.
At this writing, the Library development Web site is largely intended to be viewed by an on-campus audience, where an Ethernet connection allows very large files to be transmitted quickly. Thus, our site is not a good example of use of graphics for a site that will be viewed by large numbers of people with slower hookups such as 14.4 baud modems. If speed of transmission is an issue for your site, you will want to restrict the number and size of your graphics, or to provide a text-only version of your site. One of the best ways to build your repertoire of HTML and Web design tricks is to surf and steal. When you find a page you especially like, you can view the source code, or save the file.
