Are you looking for openly-licensed content to use in your classroom or for publication? This series will help you find Creative Commons-licensed content. Today, we’ll look at Flickr.
To learn more about Creative Commons licenses, please see this Fondren Library guide.
Features:
- Flickr allows users to make their images available online under a Creative Commons license. The key is filtering them to isolate the Creative Commons-licensed ones.
- The filter sometimes renders incorrect results. Remember to double check the license setting of the image.
Important!
It is important to consider how you want to use any CC material before you begin your search. This is because different CC licenses let you do different things. Knowing what you want to do with the material will help you choose the license that is suitable for your use.
