Internet for Image Searching is a new, free-to-use online tutorial to assist staff and students within the education sphere in locating images for use in both teaching and learning.

The emphasis of the tutorial is on finding copyright cleared images which are available free; facilitating quick, hassle-free access to a vast range of online photographs and other visual resources.

Sharon Waller from the HEA/JISC Collaboration commented on the new tutorial saying:

“This tutorial is an excellent resource for anyone needing to know more about where and how to find images online.  The fact that it concentrates on copyright cleared images will make it even more valuable for busy learning and teaching professionals, researchers and students alike.  It will also serve to inspire confidence in those needing to use images from the web in their work.”

Sol Picciotto, Professor of Law at Lancaster University gave the tutorial the following review:

“Congratulations on this tutorial. It’s really excellent, very well set out, and the information on copyright is presented clearly and accurately.  It really fills a gap, and does so extremely well.”

This tutorial has been created by TASI - the JISC Advisory Service for digital media and Intute.  The tutorial was funded and supported by the Higher Education Academy / JISC Collaboration Initiative.
