Old yearbook can be scanned into image file such as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or PDF (Portable Document Format) while newer yearbook should be published as web page in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) for fast loading. While an alumnus trying to reconnect, I believe the easiest way is to visit the website of her/his alma mater then go to alumni portal which you have done well.<br /><br />In contrast, upon viewing alumni portal, it is not that much helpful to reconnect as many alumni as possible. Some alumni including myself not even certain the year of graduation let alone you do not go by year, using a sequential number of graduations from each level of school instead.<br /><br />I would suggest list year in both ROC (the Republic of China) and western calendar (Gregorian calendar or Christian calendar) year in addition to the sequential number of graduations from each level of school. Furthermore, each year provides a link to corresponding yearbook for each alumnus to locate her/his name with picture in the yearbook and then try to refresh faded memory of her/his closed classmates’ name and picture years if not decades ago as the first step of reconnection.<br /><br />Upon locating alumnus’s name and picture, a link should be provided for claiming this person is her/him to provide whatever information (s)he is willing to provide along with additional message for classmate(s) (s)he would like to reconnect.<br /><br />As more and more alumni are heading to retiring age, they will likely to have time and/or resource required to reconnect and possibly doing more than just reconnection! Help from alma mater for alumni to reconnect is always greatly appreciated.<br /><br />袁鶴林<br />chingshinalumni.blogspot AT xo.ath.cx<br />(Please replace " AT " with "@" for e-mailing, thank you!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
