The best place to search for images/information is the **__Creative Commons__** search engine. Check the box to "Search for works I can use for commercial purposes." []


 * How do I properly attribute a __Creative Commons__ licensed work?**

If you are using a work licensed under one of our core licenses, then the proper way of accrediting your use of a work when you're making a verbatim use is: (1) to keep intact any copyright notices for the Work (2) credit the author, licensor and/or other parties (such as a wiki or journal) in the manner they specify (3) the title of the Work (4) the URL for the work if applicable. You also need to provide the URL for the Creative Commons license selected with each copy of the work that you make available. If you are making a derivative use of a work licensed under one of our core licenses, in addition to the above, you need to identify that your work is a derivative work, ie. “This is a Finnish translation of the [original work] by [author]” or “Screenplay based on [original work] by [author].” Further recommendations and guidelines for marking works can be found at [|the CC Marking project].

Asking for Permissions Because images are generally accompanied by few textual clues, they are often immune to blocking software. When images appear as thumbnail results, there is no warning of their controversial content. So typing words like "doll" into an image search database can be risky business. //Be careful about copyright, especially when publishing on the Web!// You and your students must ask for permission to use and must cite any image that is not clearly labeled public domain. The Fair Use Guidelines do **not** extend to Web publishing. Fair Use ends when the creator of the multimedia project loses control of his product's use, such as when it is accessed by others over the Internet. Students should take steps to obtain permission for all copyrighted portions of a Web product, unless it is very clearly noted that these materials are in the public domain and available for free use. Requests for permission should begin while the project is being developed.
