Hi Admire, in current versions of DSpace, you could enable thumbnails in dspace.cfg (webui.browse.thumbnail.show = true and/or webui.item.thumbnail.show = true) and upload that picture as a thumbnail in the THUMBNAIL bundle of each item. Of course, that has the disadvantage of duplicated images. This might be resolved in the next DSpace version if this code [1] makes it in - it will allow you to have metadata on authors, not just items. So you could store the photos just once (inside or outside DSpace) and then add the link as metadata to the author, which would be then be easy to display. This is the approach I would take unless you need it right away. And there's also a third option - you could store the pictures somewhere (again, inside or outside DSpace) and then associate them with the authors by name. The easiest thing would be to store the picture as file with the author's name and then render the link like this: <img src="/someplace/Author's Name.jpg" />. On the item/search result's page, you could simply take the author's name and put it into the URL. Of course, this makes it almost impossible (i.e. unless you use auhtorities) to distinguish between two distinct authors with the same name.
