# Koch Institute-Managed Collections

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are a core staff member and are looking for instructions on how to share data with collaborators via Globus, please see **STEP 6** in this [step-by-step guide](https://docs.globus.org/guides/tutorials/manage-files/share-files/). 
{% endhint %}

There are several public guest collections available in Globus, through which you will be able to access generated core data:

1. [Koch Institute Histology Data](https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/c6e93149-6237-4153-819b-83caeb793008/overview)
2. [Koch Institute Preclinical Imaging and Testing Data](https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/c6abe566-f62a-4828-ae4f-5a09a5c20c13/overview)
3. [Koch Institute Microscopy Data](https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/ba2cff55-feda-477c-b1c1-0cc3ab361f00/overview)
4. [Koch Institute Nano Data](https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/55c30b37-7030-4bbe-a7f1-18c78f6db0fe/overview)
5. [Koch Institute BioMicro Data (External)](https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/31ca1b0a-1deb-4882-93f0-6e86fe9ebe3a/overview)

Once you have created a Globus account, you can reach out to the core responsible for your data to request access to one of these collections, and a link will be shared with you via email after approval. 

Until you are provided access, you will not be able to browse the collections via the links above.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://igb.mit.edu/data-management/globus/koch-institute-managed-collections.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
