Do you need a picture for your Science presentation? Would you like to illustrate your academic projects and make them stand out? Why not to explore the Wellcome Images collection!
Wellcome Images is the “the world's leading source of images on the history of medicine, contemporary healthcare, social history, biomedical science and clinical medicine.” The collection contains almost 200,000 images harvesting 2,000 years of the mankind civilization and culture.
The images are available for free when used for educational purposes, under the Creative Commons license. Each image bears at the bottom the credit line: Wellcome Library, London. Remember to include the credit line and an attribution to the creators when mentioned. You do not have to be a registered user to download images, however, when signed in you can personalise your searches, save results, email pictures, etc.
The detailed handout on how to access and use the collections, provided by the Wellcome Library, thoroughly explains how to make the most of the collections. You can also visit the “How do I” section of the website if you are not certain how to find your way around.
Would you like to explore further where else you can find images for your presentations?
During the workshop you will have the opportunity to:
- Reflect on your image seeking patterns
- Consider your legal responsibilities when using digital images from the web
- Be given a selection of sources of copyright cleared images for enhancing your presentations (publicly shared and HE sources)
- Explore what is considered “acceptable use” when using the Flickr Creative Commons pool
- Discover where to find more help and online tutorials
