The Media Library

The Media Library is home to the media items you will be using in your CMS based website(s).  The most common types of media items are images (jpg, png) and documents (MS Office, PDFs).  As a CMS user, you will have the appropriate access to specific Media Library folders to allow you to manage your website assets.

When uploading any images to the Media Library:

• You must ensure that you have sourced the image correctly to ensure you have copyright permission to use it and that you have optimised the image for use on the web.
• You need to decide whether the image needs to have a description for accessibility purposes.
• Any image can be edited after it has been uploaded and even if it is already in use on a website, for example, if you have optimised the image since uploading it to the Media Library, you can update the existing image in the Media Library.
