Find Copyright-Friendly Images
A few people have asked us lately for places they can find copyright-friendly images to use in class or in online classes. As we have stated before, it is NOT OK to do a general image search on the Internet and use the pictures you find. All pictures and text on the Internet is copyright protected unless specifically stated otherwise. There are many websites with images that can be used without violating copyright. The library subscribes to ARTstor, an online picture database that students and teachers can use for educational, non-commercial purposes. All US government images are in the public domain and may be used. Wikimedia Commons, Flickr: Creative Commons and OpenPhoto.net include thousands of photos that are licensed under a Creative Commons license or in the public domain. For these web addresses and many more, go to http://tinyurl.com/photos4learning. Be sure to read each website for specific copyright information. See below for some images from these sites.
