With the External Media Search  option, users can search and work with public images from Flickr but users can also upload their own content directly into LUNA with the My Uploads feature. 

As with institutional and Flickr content, objects uploaded with this feature can be viewed in the Detail View and LUNA Workspace. They can also be easily added to a  Media Group  and incorporated into Slide Shows and presentations. With each object uploaded into LUNA you can add a title (max 100 characters), a description (max 1000 characters) and a copyright statement (max 500 characters).
