LUNA and the LUNA Commons
LUNA is the dynamic web based front end to Insight collections. With LUNA, users can perform simple keyword searches as well as more complex
structured queries, and control how they view, browse, and organize their results to create groups and presentations. LUNA includes the Web 2.0 tools your
users are demanding which enable them to save and share their work by linking and embedding any view, image, group, or presentation.
The LUNA Commons is where public
collections are aggregated and viewed in our new, powerful LUNA browser. While most other collection building tools
create isolated collections we’ve built a system which allows institutions to easily share and promote their public
collections. The LUNA Commons provides FREE access to hundreds of thousands of images from reputable sources
for educational and public use.
