For those unable to attend the faculty workshop, we’re making available some documents that should help you get started using the Visual Resources Collection.
Stay tuned for future faculty workshop dates later in the Fall ‘09 semester and instructional videos–they’ll be announced here.
Did you know you can search and add images from Flickr into your Visual Resources Collection media groups? Flickr is a rich resource with millions of images to choose from, ranging graphic design to scientific imaging to historical artifacts. Or perhaps you have your own Flickr account? You can use your Flickr account as a quick way to load your own images into your Luna presentations.
3-Easy Steps: Accessing Your Flickr Account in Luna
1) After logging in or creating an account, under the “Explore” tab, select “External Media Search”
2) Under the username search field, simply enter your Flickr account username and select search…easy.
3) Find the images you’d like to incorporate into your presentations, and add them to your default media group by clicking the icon in the upper-left corner.
Alternatively, you can use the username search to find the collections of participants in the Flickr Commons, a collection of unknown or out of copyright images from libraries and archives across the world.
