Once uploaded, those images can be added to public or private image groups and used like any other image in ARTstor. Each time you log in, you will now see a "My Personal Collection" listed after the other ARTstor Collections in the ARTstor Library. This Collection can be searched, opened and browsed just like other ARTstor collections; but it is visible only to you for browsing and - if you choose - the rest of your institution for searching.

There are two levels of security for Personal Collection images: limited access and institutional access. Each image is assigned a limited access security level by default. Access levels can be altered on an image-by-image basis. Here are the definitions for both levels of security.

Limited access:

• Only a search by the creator will retrieve the image
• Only the creator can save the image into an Image Group
• Only the creator can download a copy of the image
• Only the creator can print a copy of the image
• Only the creator can save the image into an OIV presentation
• All other users can view the image when saved in an Image Group to which they have access

Institutional Access:

• A search by any institutional user will retrieve the image
• All institutional users can save the image into an Image Group
• All institutional users can download a copy of the image
• All institutional users can print a copy of the image
• All institutional users can save the image into an OIV presentation

Use the "Personal Collection Administration" tool to manage your uploaded images. You can catalog uploaded images here and sort them into topics for browsing. To begin using ARTstor's Personal Collections feature please contact Vickie O'Riordan voriordan@ucsd.edu or phone 858-822-0208.
