Abstract
Web browsers provide a multimedia desktop supporting a wide range of graphical applications. The utility of Web graphics in administrative applications far surpasses the use of logos, icons, colors, and buttons. The Web interface provides a powerful tool for cross-platform delivery of photographic, document, and cartographic images merged seamlessly with administrative data. This paper examines several such applications, including campus-wide access to ID photos, routing of admissions credentials, and dynamic creation of campus maps.
