Developed by Academic Technology for FAS, the Image Media Manager (IMM) is an application that supports the creation, curation, and presentation of image collections and associated metadata.

IMM is a stand-alone application that is LTI-compliant,**\*** so it can be used directly within your Canvas course site. It facilitates the creation of slideshows and side-by-side image comparison using the high-resolution Mirador viewer.

IMM utilizes the [International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)](/iiif), so images can be added to collections by uploading files or by utilizing an existing IIIF Manifest URL.

Once installed, Image Media Manager is accessed from the left-hand navigation bar of your Canvas site. Further information on setting up and using the tool can be found by visiting the [HUIT IT Help Portal](https://harvard.service-now.com/ithelp?id=search&q=Image%20Media%20Manager&search=) or contacting Academic Technology for FAS at <atg@fas.harvard.edu>.
