This got caught in our spam filters, but is, of course, not spam ... ;-)

Dear all

I work for the Technical Advisory Service for Images (TASI) which, 
for those of you who haven't heard of us, is a JISC funded service 
that supports FE and HE, museums, galleries, libraries and archives 
with everything and anything to do with digital images.  We have a 
website (www.tasi.ac.uk/) which has links to hundreds of advice 
papers regarding aspects of digital imaging such as advice on file 
formats, building a departmental image collection, metadata, choosing 
a digital camera or scanner and so on.  We also have a free helpdesk 
facility which is simply an e-mail address to which you may write 
with questions pertaining to digital imaging ([log in to unmask]).  No 
question is too simple or advanced so feel free to use this service. 
(I should mention that this service is only free to those working in 
FE, HE and to the majority of people working within galleries, 
libraries, museums and archives).

Another main feature of the work we do is to run training courses 
(www.tasi.ac.uk/training). These courses are available to anybody but 
cheaper for those working in the sectors mentioned above.  I would 
like to use the list to post monthly bulletins of our courses.  If 
this is not relevant for the work that the majority of people on this 
list do then if the list owner could please let me know I will 
refrain from sending these bulletins.  Otherwise I look forward to 
seeing some of you on our courses and hope you find our resources 
useful.

Kind regards

David Kilbey
