Before using images, videos, music etc. that you find on the web (or elsewhere) in your presentations or other works, you must check the usage rights and make sure you aren't violating copyright. Luckily, it's easy to identify images, music, etc. that are freely available for reuse. See the boxes below for instructions on how to filter Google images by usage rights and Wikimedia Commons. As a best practice, always give attribution as well. Simply label the picture with the creator's name and the web page you retrieved it from.
1. Do a Google search.
2. On the results screen, select Images.
3. Select Tools.
4. Click on Usage Rights and select the desired type from the dropdown menu.
Search the Wikimedia Commons for images.
Most can be reused, but you must check the copyright and licensing information first!
