The FIT Digital Image Library (FITDIL) is a digital repository database of approximately 9,045 digital images.  FITDIL provides networked access to images, for both research and instructional purposes. FITDIL was created to encourage use of the Internet as an instructional tool and to promote sharing of visual resources among the FIT community. 

FITDIL allows FIT faculty to manage their own collections by providing access to a networked database application system (MDID2).  Students can view faculty-created slideshows to supplement instruction which in turn can be downloaded, printed or turned into Flash Cards for Study purposes.

FITDIL is available through the FIT Digital Library. Use your FIT username & password to access FITDIL.
