Re: [LM_NET] Databases for graphics and photographs

From one of my recent faculty newsletters:

 For your classroom computers you can choose one of the filters Google
provides under "preferences" just to the right of the search box, making the
less savory less likely.
. ...many of the images on Google are under strict copyright protection,
meaning you should ask for permission before using them, even in an
educational setting. Some images require a license to copy. The
creator/owner of an image can set the rules about who can use it and how.

Or you might choose Pics4Learning, (http://www.pics4learning.com/) a
"copyright-friendly" site of photographic images specifically chosen for
student and teacher use.  You can browse by topic or do a simple or advanced
search. The site even has lesson plans for using images in a project. Each
image is offered with image size, name of photographer, name of photo,
location AND a bibliographic citation in the correct format.
