Images-Copyright

Photos for Class removes that hassle. It automatically adds a black ribbon across the bottom of the image with the appropriate attribution.

Click the link and look at the page.

From US News & World Report contribution to the Library of Congress Further down the page there is a link to "rights and permission on the collection"

It gives a credit line, and this is how it would be attributed:

Also a good idea to put the original URL; then no one will have any question about it's origin.

Simpler even to understand, is an OLD ART piece: Mona Lisa @http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa I clicked on the restored image: Scroll down the page to PERMISSION You will see it is public domain because it is over 100 years after the artist's death. A little further down is a link about WHEN:: to use the PD-Art tag

Your credit will read: //// Also good to include the url of the page from which you took the image so people can look for themselves.

Photos from Pics4Learning

Each image has under it a category called bibliography. Just copy that and you're good to go.

For example this bald eagle image found at: @http://www.pics4learning.com/details.php?img=eaglehead01.jpg

Pics4Lerning automatically includes the date on which you found or downloaded the image, in this on you can see "6 Jan 2011". I accessed it on January 6 of 2011.

WPClipart -- can add to search bar on Firefox. Scroll down the page and look for Add "webclipart search to browser" Click on it. Now up in the upper left corner of Firefox you can hold down the little arrow next to the search engine that is there, probably Google, and pull down to WPclipart Search. Type in what picture you are looking for. When the results come up DO NOT go to any of the ADS by Google, but below the line look for WP's images.
