Places to acquire images that are either in the public domain or licensed for noncommerical reuse:
For Holland Patent Students ONLY:
Britannica Images: In your SEARCH 24/7 Databases (in OPALS), we have licenses for free use of these images (however you'd like to use them!)
Wikimedia commons: This vast repository of images and sounds is just like wikipedia. Anyone can be a contributor, and it's FREE for everyone involved. Contributors believe in sharing their work instead of keeping their copyright protections at the forefront. Contributors have donated this material to the public domain--users may search for images and sound and use it based on the contributors stipulations, which often tell you that you can use their image/sound as long as you make your own work freely available as well. If you find an image or sound that you want to use, simply look at the rules for its use before you use, share, or modify it. Most likely, you will be able to whatever you want with it!

NASA Library of Images - NASA should be credited as the source when you use the photos in this great library of high-quality images. Most of the images are in the public domain unless specifically noted--in those cases, you will need to obtain permission to use the photos from the creator of the image (it will be noted).
