Thing 3: Image Banks

Oh, using images in a teaching resource... yes, that is a common request in my library! So thank to the Rudaí team I now have picture databases to share.

For the Academic and Special Libraries Section we use Flickr to share photos of our events, which I why I wanted to try some of the other options cited.

I have heard of Pixabay before, but have never used it. So this is the picture I downloaded for this post:

I'm quite a visual person, so love using photographs, cartoons and other images in the montly library newsletter. It'll will be great to explore these image banks further. 

A lot of the library users (mainly teachers and tutors) are confused with all the terminology involved: 'creative commons', 'copyrighted', etc. I feel much more confident now with advising them on the proper use of other people's creations. Which includes, of course, "please cite the source".
