My Lightbox

Your Lightbox allows you to save the items you want to work with. If you add items when you are logged in, then your Lightbox will be saved so that items will remain in your Lightbox until next time you visit.

A summary of your Lightbox is displayed on every page in the "Lightbox" panel under the left-hand menu.

The "Lightbox" page lists all the items you have added to your Lightbox. For each item in the list, you can click on thumbnail or "View details" link to view its full details.

Adding and removing items

You can add items to you Lightbox from the "Search results," "Browse,"or "Item details" pages by clicking "add to lightbox."

You can remove a single item from your Lightbox by clicking the link "remove" at each item. If you want to remove all of the items from your Lightbox, click the link "Remove all" shown near the top of the page. You can also select a group of items to remove, and select "Remove from Lightbox" on the dropdown menu.

Item grouping 

The items in your Lightbox are color-coded red, yellow, and green, according to the use permissions that you have for those items.
