Hi Cindy,

There are a lot of options for providing access to images online, and since
I'm not familiar with your software environment, I can't answer on that
issue, but on the issue of zooming on images, I can make a recommendation.
In the last year or so, some developers at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory have done some great work to develop an apache tomcat JPEG-2000
module.  It's free and open source, and a number of institutions have begun
using in a production environment.  I'm integrating it into a digital coins
project.
