A wide selection of audio and video assets are now available on the Images Library. Working in partnership with the Office of Information Technology, we have produced assets that can be used "as is" or customized for your unit.

These assets were developed to complement the new electronic communications policy that is still in the works. The assets include all the components that will be required for University-produced audio and video.

Go to the Audio and Video Assets and Standards page to read about the standards and watch a video demonstration of ways to use the assets. Download the assets from the Images Library.

For some great ideas on how to tame the beast and provide sharp, attention-grabbing content, check out "20 tips for writing for the web."

P.S I'd love to know if you think Web should be capped. Is it Web or web? Thoughts?

University Relations has been working with Video Solutions in OIT to make resources for audio, video, and multimedia productions. The creative work is complete and guidelines and instructions are being written.

Look for these new resources -- including video intros and closings, UofM title bars, backgrounds, and music and voice-over audio intros -- on the eCommunication Standards site and the Images Library in the next week (or so).
