Prescott Library: Quebec: Je me souviens (Nickerson): For Maps & Pictures

Finding images

For this assignment, you will need to find images to add to your poster.

Here are a few great starting places to start.

Creative Commons Search
From the Creative Commons website, you can search Flickr and Google images and find resources that may be welcome to be used and shared through the CC license.
Flickr Commons
Hidden treasures from the world's public photography archives. Use the search box at the top right to find an image you need, and check the copyrights.
Morgue File
Images by professional photographers that have become available for public use. A great collection of images!
World Digital Library
Free primary source materials from around the world.
more...less...
The World Digital Library (WDL) makes available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from countries and cultures around the world.

Finding Maps

Americas Historical Maps

Canada Maps

Find Images

This resource is great for finding maps, photos and more!

YOU DO NOT NEED TO CITE THESE IMAGES IN NOODLETOOLS.

YOU DO NEED TO INCLUDE A STATEMENT LIKE THIS: “All images are from Britannica Image Quest and are rights-cleared for educational use. ” in your presentation.

Of course, any images found via Google or other image search sites still need to be properly cited.

Instructions for Using Flickr

Remember that when searching for images in Flickr, we use the Advanced Flickr Search

1. Click on "photos only"

2. Click on "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content "

*If you don't want to worry about checking the CC image license for each photo, check the second box, "Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon"

3. Once you find an image, click on the image. Then click on "view all sizes" to download the image AND to look at the CC license for the photo. You want photos that have the "attribution symbol" (looks like a small i) and noncommercial use (dollar sign with slash through it).

4. Be sure to name each photo and save in one location on your home directory or flash drive. It helps to get the info about the photos creator too.

(A HUGE THANKS to the LibGuides of Buffy Hamilton at the the Unquiet Library for this great How-to.)
