In response to feedback from our user community, and as a result of the relationships that we have been building with content owners, we are now making available approximately 95% of the images in the Digital Library available for larger download at 1024 pixels on the long side. This new download capacity is part of ARTstor’s ongoing effort to facilitate broad access to digital images for teaching and scholarship.

NSIT has issued an advisory concerning Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista. Salient points:
- Office 2007 for Windows has a default “save” format that is incompatible with earlier versions of Office and with Office for Mac.
- If you are ordering a new machine, NSIT recommends purchasing it with Windows XP, instead of Vista.
- NSIT will also not be fully supporting Windows Vista before 2008.
