Think of LUNA as not just page after page of thumbnails, but as a dynamic space for working with digital content.

Simple Keyword searching is a common way to search for content. Advanced Search can help you find specific items within certain parameters. But what if you don't know what to search for? How can you enter a keyword if you don't have one?

Try LUNA's Browse Categories feature. Browse Categories presents all the data of a collection in 4 categories: Who, What, When, and Where. Facets are also presented, so you'll immediately know what kind of content is in a collection.

Users can view individual images in the Detail View, or multiple images in the LUNA Workspace. And of course there's still the ability to browse through pages of thumbnails, but now you can customize your view selecting the number of thumbnails per page and their size.

And if you choose to go full screen and eliminate your browser's navigation tools, use the forward and back feature on virtually every page of LUNA:

  •  Display annotations: indicates how many annotations are on an image, click on it to hide or show the annotations. If there are no annotations to an image, you won't see this icon.

  •  Add Annotation: when logged in you'll be able to add annotations to an image. Annotations can be saved at a collection level for all to see (if given permission by administrator), privately so only you will see them when viewing the image in the Detail View or LUNA Workspace, or to a Media Group in order to share the annotation with others.

  •   Show/Hide Thumbnail Panner: allows you to control which section of a zoomed-in image you see. Drag the grayed-out zoomed area around the thumbnail to see that zoomed section, or simply pan in the image itself.

Image Modified

 

  •   Maximize Image: maximizes the image to fit your screen.

  •  Zooming: zooming in and out on an image can be done by clicking on the “+” or “-“symbol, using the scroll wheel on your mouse, or by dragging the zoom bar left or right.

BookReader Objects 

  •  The Full View will open the BookReader object with the pages of the book presented in a vertical thumbnail panel. The thumbnail panel lets you quickly jump to any page of the book, and add any page to your Active Media Group.

...

  • If you're logged in you'll also be able to add the image in the Detail View to any of your Media Groups.

  • Use the pull down menu to select the Media Group you want to add the image to.

    

Browse Who, What, When, Where Category Facets

LUNA’s Browse Categories feature offers users a snap-shot of a collection. Instead of only searching for media using the simple keyword or advanced search, you can go to this Browse Categories page and see the exact values for each data field. These categories are divided into Who, What, When, and Where. From this page you can also search alphanumerically.

Image Added

  • Values are listed in alphabetical order under each of the Who, What, When, Where categories. The number of results containing each value is represented within parentheses.

  • Navigate through the list of values using the right or left arrows, or by clicking on the page number, using the navigation buttons at the bottom of each Who, What, Where, When category box.

  • You can also search alphanumerically.

  • Click on a value to see the results in the Thumbnail View.

  • You can then continue to narrow your search adding or removing additional data values, using the Narrow Search option in the Thumbnail View.
