Make groups
After you have performed your search, your next step would be to make an image group. This is a way to download a lot of images at once and/or share a group of images with students and colleagues.
Click on the thumbnails boxes to add images to a group.
Sharing Groups
Once you have selected the images you want to add to a group, navigate to Organize > Save Selections to New Image Group or Save Selections to Existing Image Group
You can also add images to your personal collection.
From here you can add a Title, Description, and Tags to your image group. You can also select if your collection is shared with your institution or is kept private.
Organize groups
Groups are now viewable to everyone logged into your institution. Since everyone can see them, it is helpful to name the group using a full title.
Using Tags
The new Artstor platform uses tags to organizes image groups. Tags act as a filter and replicate Artstor's old "folder view" for groups. If you are faculty, it can be helpful to tag groups with the class name or number and your name, so students can find all your groups easily.
There are a few groups that are automatically assigned to you in Artstor:
1. My Groups
1a. Private: Groups of images that only you can see.
1b. Shared by Me: Groups of images that you have shared with others within your institution.
2. Institutional: Public groups of images shared by others in your institution.
3. Shared with Me: Private groups of images shared with you by others in your institution.
4. Artstor Curated
Lots more information about image groups can be found over on Artstor! Check it out here.
