Copyright-cleared images at your fingertips
A new online tutorial was launched today to help users locate copyright-cleared images on the Internet, for use in learning and teaching materials. Created by Jisc Digital Images and Intute as part of the Virtual Training Suite, the free Internet for Image Searching tutorial is designed to facilitate quick and hassle-free access to a vast range of photographs and other visual resources online, most of which are entirely free to use.
Mindful of the minefield that is copyright law, Sharon Waller from the Higher Education Academy calls the 'Internet for Image Searching' tutorial ‘an excellent resource for anyone needing to know more about where and how to find images online. The fact that it concentrates on copyright-cleared images will make it even more valuable for busy learning and teaching professionals, researchers and students alike.’
'It really fills a gap and does so extremely well.’
Professor Sol Picciotto of the Lancaster University Law School provided some early feedback: ‘Congratulations on this tutorial. It's really excellent, very well set out, and the information on copyright is presented clearly and accurately. It really fills a gap and does so extremely well.’
This tutorial was funded by the Higher Education Academy and Academy/Jisc Collaboration Initiative.
