It covers YouTube, Wikimedia Commons and Flickr amongst others. Canvas has a searchable database of CC images, to access these select &#8216;Unsplash&#8217; when you click the image icon in the text editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of licence which govern what you are allowed to do with the material, shown in this video: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Creative Commons licenses - A short explanation\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WXe6e-ZHIys?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other free sources of images<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several searchable databases where you can find images for use in courses. Some of these are detailed below, which may be of interest to bioscientists and medics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wellcome Images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wellcome Image library has thousands of images available under CC licences, from historical medical images through to electron micrographs. Their website is at this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wellcomecollection.org\/works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getty Images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Getty Images are available for free via this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need an account, and you are only allowed to embed certain&nbsp;<em>editorial<\/em>&nbsp;images for non-commercial use; however there are still plenty to choose from! The embed option (&lt;\/&gt;) is present when you click on the image if you are allowed to use it; see red circle in image below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"746\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/01\/Embedding-Getty-images.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/01\/Embedding-Getty-images.png 746w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/01\/Embedding-Getty-images-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Copy the embed code and paste into Canvas.<a href=\"https:\/\/ngage.ncl.ac.uk\/sdot1\/files\/2018\/05\/Embed-code.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Images without an embed code must be paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Radiopaedia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides a huge collection of X-rays which can be used for free, as well as articles and diagrams. The website is at this&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/radiopaedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public domain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some materials are in the public domain which means they can be freely used. It is polite to attribute these materials to their author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most images created by employees of the USA government are in the public domain, e.g. those from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/\">National Institutes of Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some materials are so old that the copyright has run out (more than 70 years). A good example of this is Gray\u2019s Anatomy, available online at this&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bartleby.com\/107\/\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rightslink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot find a free source you will need to obtain permission for use of images. This will sometimes require a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Journals which are not Open Access (most of these are Creative Commons, but do check because not all have their images as CC) often have a \u2018request permissions\u2019 button, as shown circled in red on the BMJ below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/02\/Permissions-button.png\" alt=\"Image showing 'permissions' button for an online journal article\" class=\"wp-image-289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/02\/Permissions-button.png 601w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/02\/Permissions-button-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>This image is used with permission!

Complete the dropdown boxes, then find out from \u2018Quick price\u2019 whether the licence is free or not, and act according to your budget. Remember to print the licence or at least store the licence electronically as well as filing the email you will be sent as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The licence will tell you the wording to use beside the image. An example can be found here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/02\/NATURE-PUBLISHING-GROUP-LICENSE.doc\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fmstel\/files\/2021\/02\/NATURE-PUBLISHING-GROUP-LICENSE.doc\">NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP LICENSE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other permissions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Other permissions may be harder to obtain due to lack of attribution. If created by a named academic they can generally be tracked down to their institution and if you email them permission is often readily given; hopefully we would be as obliging if the request was made to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cross-university LTDS Flexible Learning 2020 course has information for everyone on copyright at this link.
