The TRU Collector is a tool used for submitting, sorting, and displaying images. It works particularly well for activities where curation and collaboration are a key feature.

On upload, the person who shares it creates a title, any kind of descriptive information to go along with it, and add tags and/or categories to organize the item. Visitors to the TRU Collector can sort and view the content based on the title, categories, and tags.

You can even enable an address that allows people to publish directly to your collection by old fashioned email.

The administrator of a TRU Collector can choose to enable input fields for a creators name (for attribution), an open license, and to provide a cut and paste attribution text.
