Searching Flickr in LUNA

LUNA's External Media search works directly with the Flickr API so you can search for Flickr images in LUNA and add them to your Active Media Group. To search for images from Flickr:

Image Added

  • Images must be marked as public in Flickr.

  • The more tags and descriptions to an image in Flickr, the easier it will be to find them in LUNA.

  • Search by Keyword or Username. Search by both to better refine your search.

  • Only 500 Flickr results will be available in LUNA so it is important to try and refine your search.

Interact with External MediaImage Added

  • Navigate through the pages of thumbnails using the right or left arrows, or by clicking on the page number.

  • Use the thumbnail size icons to determine if you want small, medium, or large thumbnails.

  • Roll over an image and click the Add To My Active Media Group icon in the top left hand corner to add an image to your Active Media Group. The image will gray out to indicate that the image has been successfully added.

  • To view the image from its source, click on the Go To Source link below the image. This will open the image in Flickr in a new window.

About Flickr Content

Content from Flickr comes from many varied places, notably the general public. But recently several important public institutions have been taking advantage of Flickr's services and posting their images to the Flickr Commons. Sample contributors include: New York Public Library; Library of Congress; Field Museum; National Library of New Zealand; Getty Research Institute; Smithsonian Institution; National media Museum.
