Logging on:
	1. Click on the Luna Insight® icon
	2. Enter your assigned user name and password
	3. Click on the logon button or press the 'Enter' key on your keyboard.
	4. Select the collection or collections you would like to view or search. Luna Insight® allows you to search more than one collection at a time. To select multiple collections hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while selecting collections with your mouse. Click on select when you have made your choice(s).

Group Workspace:

Luna Insight ® always opens up the Group Workspace first. This window shows some images from a collection on the right hand side of the page and a set of commands and list of available collections on the left.

All of Luna Insight’s ® functions for searching, displaying and using images from collections begin with the Group Window. (Searching can also be performed using the Search Window.)Luna Insight® has other windows which open up to allow the user to manipulate images and/or make changes to collections.

The Group Window is shown below as it appears when it first opens. (Note, when Luna Insight® is searching for the collection and loading it, you will see a message in the right hand window that says "Contacting" and the name of the collection and then a loading message as Luna Insight® accesses the image collection you have selected.)

 

Group Workspace -> File:

Open Collection – allows you to open a collection or collections for viewing

Open Group – allows you to open any existing groups of images

Image Workspace

By double-clicking on an image in the Group Window, you open that image into the Image Workspace. In the Image Workspace you can zoom in/out, pan or scroll around an image, annotate or link an image(s) to additional information, measure different areas and understand the scale of the image relative to the real object. Below, the icon menu appears as a bar on the right side of the page.

How to Search a collection:

Once you have selected a collection and are ready for searching, you can select your search field from one of the items in the list. The fields available for searching may vary from collection to collection. The Search menu indicates the data fields that are searchable for the particular collection. (See illustration on previous page.)

Below is an example of a search begun by selecting Creator from the list and choosing List All from the available fields.

The search shown previously is really straightforward.

What if you wanted to search by a specific data field?

First, select by data fields from the Search menu.

A pop-up list will show you all the available searchable data fields for the particular collection or collection(s) you have open.

Select a data field to search. In the example below, Creator was selected.

Now you can limit or expand your search using Boolean operators by defining the relationship of the field you have selected to some value that you add by either typing the value in directly or clicking on a value from the list.

The illustration below shows that the value "equals" was selected as the relation and "Bacon, Henry" was selected from the list.

Once again, you are given the opportunity to narrow or expand your search by selecting either And or Or. Either choice brings up another list of searchable fields to use.

Once you feel you have specified all the information you need to search, click on Search. After a search, the results may be modified by first clicking on the Search button and then selecting an option to broaden or narrow a search.

Click on New Search.

Select either Broaden Search or Narrow Search to modify your search.

How to perform a cross-collection search:

All of the relationships between descriptive characteristics, people, places, dates and concepts can be used for searching across multiple, heterogeneous collections. For instance, Luna Insight® maps collection data fields and structure against local and international standards such as Rutgers Core and Dublin Core or CIMI and then resolves the best fit of standards for the collections selected to be searched. You can search the collections simultaneously. You can create and save image groups based on any combination of collections. Selected images will contain the full data, conventions and format of the source collection.

You will need to select multiple collections initially to perform a cross-collection search. Click on File.

To select multiple collections hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while selecting collections with your mouse. Click on select when you have made your choice(s).

The cue that you have selected more than one collection for searching comes from the title bar on the top of the Group Window.

You can then search in the usual way. If you select Data Fields from the list, you will be shown all of the data fields for both collections.

Data fields that are not available for searching will appear in gray.

 

Use the scroll bar to scroll through the list to searchable fields for the collections you have selected. Where implemented, the metadata standard type and metadata standard fields would be resolved to the best fit for the collections. In this case, none of the metadata fit the two collections used as examples. You can tell this is so because the metadata are shown in grey.

Notice in the illustration above that the searchable fields are listed within the collections. Selecting any field will perform a search on that field and the terms and relations you specify that cross all the collections you have selected. Only items retrieved using the field, terms and relations you specify will be retrieved.

If it has been implemented for your collections, hierarchical searching allows you to search for an individual term in a hierarchy or search for a term and all of its associated, narrower child terms.

How to annotate an image:

The ability to permanently create and edit an Annotation is a user privilege assigned by your system administrator. If you do not have that privilege you can still annotate images however the annotations will only appear using the computer you created them with. Annotating an image allows you to call attention to an aspect of the image and to create an explanatory text that can be hidden and retrieved for later viewing.

Adding an annotation:
	1. Click on the Create/Edit Link for Current Images icon.
	2. Annotation window opens.
	3. Select the link type that you want to add to the image. In this case, select the annotation link by clicking on the New button beneath the word Annotation.
	4. Instructions will appear in the center of the annotation window. "Create a new link or select a link to edit."
	5. Click on box next to the words "Set link:". By selecting Point which is the default, you can use the arrow cursor to indicate the place on the image that you wish to annotate.
	6. Font type, font size, and font color can be changed using the alternatives in the drop down boxes below each selection.
	7. Move the arrow cursor to the place on the image you wish to annotate and click.
	8. Begin typing your annotation.
	9. When you have finished the annotation, select the appropriate location to save the link. There may be several choices and you may need the guidance of a staff or faculty member.
	10. Before saving a link, be sure that the "Author", "Organization" and "Email" fields are filled in. The "Subject" and "Category" fields are optional. "Link type", "Saved in" and "Date" fields are filled in automatically when you save the link.
	11. Save, delete or cancel the link by clicking on the appropriate buttons.
	12. Close the annotation window by clicking on the circle in the upper right hand corner when you are finished.
	13. The annotation icon will appear on the image in the appropriate place, as shown above.

How to link an image

The ability to link an image or part of an image to another image, audio, video or a Web URL is a user privilege assigned by your system administrator.

Linking allows you to add information that expands your understanding or interpretation of an image.

Linking to a URL

To link an image to a URL, you must first know the URL that you would like to link the image to. After selecting an image and opening the Image Workspace, click on the Create/Edit Links icons. Then click on the New button under Web.
