AP Lang: Year in Review: Images

Using databases for images (this one or any of the ones you used for research) is WAY EASIER for citation purposes.

Creative Commons

With Creative Commons (CC) licenses, creators can relinquish some of their rights as copyright holders.  Creators can retain some rights (like attribution), but are often happy to have their work used or remixed so that other creators may benefit.  For all creative commons licenses, please read and follow the license requirements.

Below are some tools to locate Creative Commons images:

• Creative Commons Search

  Link to a variety of search engines that will find content that you can share, use and remix. Includes Media, Images, Music and Video.

• Google Images

  Add 'Creative Commons' to your search term(s); check for any specific license requirements

• Yahoo Images

  Add 'Creative Commons' to your search term(s); check for any specific license requirements

• Flickr

  Add 'Creative Commons' to your search term(s); check for any specific license requirements

• Wikimedia

  All the images are CC licensed

Public Domain 

Public Domain images are those in which copyright has expired, or where the copyright owner has given very broad permissions to people to use it freely. The copyright term is 95 years from the year of first publication or 120 years from creation, whichever comes first.  After this time, works become part of the public domain.

• Pixabay

  Over one million free to use images that require no attribution

• Art Institute of Chicago

  Publicly accessible digital archive with unrestricted access to thousands of artwork images under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license.

• Pexels

  Public domain (free) stock photos

Should you choose to properly search another way, it is an in-depth process to cite. Step by step directions are in this slideshow and you must properly search and cite the images.
