When you use a personal/company login you will also have extended sharing rights and you can create and send personal compilations of images, so-called Lightboxes, to other users.

The new database is built around a number of folders named “Galleries”
This is the home of all the Visit Greenland images in one continuous stream.
This collection of galleries is organized in the same way as we did with Flickr and much the same way that we do in the greenland.com website main menu. Most B2B users will find that this is their go-to collection for browsing images.
This is a collection of galleries with subfolders for different places around the country. We only build folders for a place when we have enough images to collect them in one folder.
This collection of galleries mirrors the Flickr image organization and the greenland.com main menu structure.
This new collection of galleries makes it possible to get an immediate overview of images from each photographer in the database. All of these images also live in relevant galleries under the Things to Do, Destinations, and About Greenland gallery collections.
This is a database folder without any image content, and, to avoid confusion, we expect it to be invisible for end users at some point in the future.
You will find the search function in the page header under “Search”.
Searches allow you to pinpoint images based on both keywords and other criteria. We recommend using the Keywords field, and you can consider it much like a Google free text search. For instance, if you write “Sisimiut” you will get all 300 or so images tagged with Sisimiut.
Or you can narrow the search and write “Sisimiut winter” and get a little less than 100 images.
As noted earlier, if you have not registered a Libris user account you will not be able to use the photo database.
We use the license “Limited Commercial License”. Outside Greenland only tourism related companies are allowed to acquire an account, and get access to the photo database – and are only allowed to use the photos from our photo database in the context of marketing Greenlandic tourist products.
All Greenlandic companies can, in principle, use our photo database and photos, as long as the context is unambiguously about Greenland. We do recommend, though, that Greenlandic companies outside the tourism industry hire a local photographer to take photos for marketing-related material, instead of using photos from our database.
All Greenlandic companies can, in principle, use our photodatabase and photos, as long as the context is unambiguously about Greenland.
To register as a user you can use the Login button in the header menu or you can set up a user account when clicking the download link on an image in the database. Please note that creating a user account is not the same as setting up an actual Libris account which you would only do if you wanted to buy and build your own image database.
We know that a new database is bound to have a few bumps in the road that need smoothing out before everything just runs, so if you experience any challenges with downloads, user account set ups, or similar actions send us an email to libris@visitgreenland.com and we will guide you through the process.
We hope you are able to put the new image database to good use.
