Free Use Photos

http://librarytrainer.com/2008/04/18/announcing-free-use-photos-a-new-flickr-group/

How often do you need a quick photo to illustrate a point or concept? Are you ever concerned about the copyright restrictions? Well look no further!

Inspired by Michael Casey and his 50 Reasons Not to Change post (and the comments that followed). Tony Tallent and I have created a Flickr group called Free Use Photos where all the photos are free and can be used with no restrictions.

We encourage everyone in the library and education communities to join and share photos that can be used for displays, presentations, blogs, or any other imaginable use. Tony has already added some great photos to the group that will give you an idea of what we are looking for.

I just added the photo above from PLCMC to the pool. It was most useful in the slides Michael Casey and I put together for CIL2008. I’ll be adding more when grading time is done.
