Introduction
This guide compiles resources for finding and using images. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all sources for finding images, but rather a sample of BGSU databases and Internet sites.
The resources we have selected have a large number of images that are available for educational or research use without asking for permission. When you use an image you are responsible for learning the exact restrictions and permissions of that specific image. The Copyright and Citing Images page compiles some useful sites that explain various issues about copyright and images.
The information in this guide is not meant to constitute legal advice. The librarians who compiled this guide are not lawyers and can not answer questions about what is legal or illegal. If you have questions about what is legal, you should consult an attorney.
