Re: [LM_NET] Photos & Fair Use

[Mary Ann Bell <drmaryannbell@GMAIL.COM>]

First of all images are not from Google. They are from the web sites that
Google finds. And Big G does not care what their use status might be. Your
teacher/student needs to go to the original page for each image and see if
it is OK to use or not. If it is from a personal page, he/she should email
that person and ask. I have had students do this and have never been
refused. So the patron needs to learn several things:
1. Google is a search tool and not a repository of images. THIS IS
IMPORTANT!
2. Images must be credited.
3. Each image must be viewed at its site and the conditions there should be
honored. For instance I have a royalty free clipart site. He is fine to use
it, and the site says so. But he should give credit.
4. If an image is for sale he is not going to get permission and should just
look for another. There a plenty out there. And the teacher should teach his
student that Google is a search tool and not a database of images. Aruggh
and cheers!--mabell
