For example, some you can use only for non-commercial use, some you just need be to specific about giving the creator credit for. One of the best search engines for these type of images is [] **[|www.creativecommons][|.org.au/] ** Creative Commons Copyright and Use Website Creative Commons Explained [|http://slav.global2.vic.edu.au/2011/03/18/creative-commons-made-simple/#.UHuMn1IZTqI] [] **Under the following conditions: ** **Attribution if Using a Site or Images ** All of the major Creative Commons Licenses require attribution. First, the author technically gets first choice in how attribution should be applied. The deed itself says “You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor.” so, if the author has a specific way they want to be attributed, that’s the way to go. However, most authors don’t specify a particular way. As such, the full license says that such attribution should include the following:
 * 1) The name of the author and/or licensor
 * 2) The title of the work (if supplied)
 * 3) As far as practical, the URL that is associated with the work (meaning, in most Web uses, a link to the source)

The license allows for you to do this as appropriate for your use of the work. So, for example a Web use would likely require a search-engine friendly link where a printed use would require a footnote. The guidance is admittedly vague here, especially for non-Web uses, but if you act in good faith and give attribution as soundly as possible, meeting the requirements above, you should be ok.

Also, it is important to note that your attribution should not hint at any kind of endorsement from the licensor. That too would be a violation of the terms.

The below poster was created by Karlisson Bezzera (Brazil), a blogger who goes under the name of Nerdson. Bezerra manages to explain [|creative commons] in an easy-to-follow comic strip. The text has been translated from the original Portugese (not by myself!). This poster has been moving around the world wide web. It would be perfect to have up in the library and computer rooms.
