If you are a member of the campus community and are looking for images to use on materials meant for the promotion of the University and its programs, send an email to ui-photo@illinois.edu. Include your first and last name and the email address you would like to use for your user name. You will receive an “invitation” via email from Public Affairs via Photoshelter. Click on the url in the invitation. When you arrive at the home page for the Database, choose Sign Up and create a free account. You should now be able to access the Database.
Anyone on campus who wishes to use the photos for the purpose of promoting the University and its programs.
The images in the Database are free as long as they are not used on merchandise that will be sold for a profit. (see policies)
No photo credit is required.
We appreciate your interest in helping to increase our stock of images in the database. Our goal is to provide high-quality, unique images that can be used to reflect the excellence of Illinois on Web sites, printed materials, presentations and other communications pieces, with little or no impediments to usage, legal or otherwise. To that end, these are the submission requirements:
This process is necessary to protect the university legally and to maintain the standard of quality. Please email the Database administrator at ui-photo@illinois.edu to discuss submissions.
Please contact the Database administrator at ui-photo@illinois.edu.
In order to view and download from the Image Database, you need to obtain access from Public Affairs. The process is easy! Email ui-photo@illinois.edu with your first and last name and your email address. (Be sure to read the policies of the Database before using the images.)
The most common reason for this is that Photoshelter will only recognize your email address if it is written exactly the way it was put into the system when you were granted access. If you were added before the switch to netid@illinois.edu, you will need to use your netid@uiuc.edu email address. Also, if your invitation is for netid@ad.uiuc.edu or netid@law.uiuc.edu, you will need to be sure to type your log in exactly that way.
It could be that your e-mail client registered your invitation as junk mail. You should either check your spam box or visit the log in page (http://images.publicaffairs.illinois.edu) and try to sign up using the email address you provided when you requested your invitation. If that doesn’t work, contact ui-photo@illinois.edu.
