Citations are hard when it comes to images. Do we make the image clickable? How do we give credit to the photographer when their name is coolguy555? 

As librarians, it’s important for us to set the standard for properly choosing the best internet images to compliment web content. Let's take a closer look into copyrighted images and how they differ from Google image searches, better understand fair use policies, and quickly identify their public domain.

In this 90-minute presentation, you'll discover where to find the information for each site, learn why they contain creative commons images and what use that covers. Unlock practical ways to quickly find and filter creative commons licensed images online, learn how to hyperlink a citation for a website, and how to use creative commons images for thumbnails in videos and how to cite the image in unconventional situations like this.
