Image Searching & Copyright: Day 2
Why You Should Care and What You Should Do About It
Day Two: Google
Let’s say you’re working on a lesson for a chemistry class and you want to include an image of a water molecule. You do a Google Image search for “water molecule,” and pages of results pop up.
How can you make sure you can use them?
What to Do
In Google Images, there is a small box on the top left called "Search Tools." This box lets you filter your search by usage rights.
1. Click on “Search Tools.”
2. Click on “Usage Rights” and select “Labeled for Reuse.”
This will bring up images that have licenses that allow us to use them! But remember -- Google isn’t infallible! Please still check for a copyright statement on the image’s host webpage.
