VIEW ARCHITECTURE IMAGES FROM CINCINNATI AND AROUND THE WORLD
The Architecture and Urban Planning Collection
http://digitalprojects.libraries.uc.edu/archurban/index.asp
Produced by the Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) Library, The Architecture and Urban Planning Collection contains over 2,500 images from China, Africa, Europe, and the United States, with special focus on Cincinnati. The images in the collection were provided by University of Cincinnati students, faculty, and staff, professional and amateur photographers, and the Cincinnati Preservation Association. Many of the images represent urban planning research projects of DAAP faculty and students.
The Architecture and Urban Planning Collection, available via the Digital Projects Web site, is available to the general public and is growing continually. Visitors to the collection can view thumbnails and large versions of the images, as well as rotate, zoom in and out, magnify particular areas, save and print the images.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RESEARCHERS
UC Faculty & Researchers: The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764) directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide public access to its funded research. In accordance with this act, the NIH now requires researchers funded by NIH to submit their manuscripts to PubMed Central® as of April 7, 2008.
The Health Sciences Library has created a Web page with NIH Manuscript Submission System Information to assist researchers with this new mandate. The Web site, available at <http://aitl.uc.edu/nihmanuscript.cfm>, includes links to NIH Manuscript Submission guidelines and procedures, authors’ rights documents, and tutorials.
For more information regarding the new NIH Manuscript Submission Policy, contact Angela Myatt at angela.myatt@uc.edu or by phone at (513) 558-0764.
