Finding Images on the Web for use by Educators <\/span><\/p>\n

Although search engines such as Google.com and others enable you to quickly locate photos, clip art, and other visual media, most that is found is not in the public domain and so can only be used under very restricted ways without permission of their owners. This basically rules out their use in websites or in other media for public presentation. There are exceptions, and Fair Use statutes define the latitude that we enjoy in an educational setting. Of course, there is never any problem with either faculty or students using their own original images. Other images in the public domain (as from sources listed below) may be used, or more recently those projects that permission is defined as they are released to the public. An example of this is a new kind of copyright designation called “Creative Commons.”<\/p>\n

Copying Images<\/span><\/p>\n

Right mouse click on the image in your browser you wish to save, and “Save Target to Desktop.” This may be called something else in your browser. On a Mac, press the control button, click on the mouse, and select “Download Image to Disk.”<\/p>\n
