6 JOURNAL OF COPYRIGHT IN EDUCATION AND LIBRARIANSHIP
For public domain image searches, the Library of Congress (https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress), New York Public Library (http://publicdomain.nypl.org/pd-visualization/), Federal Agencies (http://www.barbarawaxer.com/find-media-online/home/federal-sites), and the Flickr Commons (https://www.flickr.com/commons) offer ample opportunities for users to access freely available images. For photos that represent diversity, Waxer suggested searching WOCinTechChat’s Flickr Photos (https://www.flickr.com/photos/wocintechchat/) and the Jopwell Collection (https://jopwellcollection.jopwell.com/thejopwellcollection/).
In addition to highlighting several resourceful tools for finding and using images and media, Waxer encouraged attendees to think about where the images are coming from and discussed the importance of tracing an image back to the original creator to determine the image’s original rights and licensing. The reverse image search tool called TinEye.com (https://www. tineye.com/) has the ability to sort image results by the oldest to see where the image was first used online, which likely leads to the image creator.
Barbara Waxer only had time to feature a handful of resources and tools that she has curated over years of writing and teaching copyright. Additional information about applied copyright, resources for finding and using creative commons-licensed works, and the flowcharts can be found at Barbara Waxer’s website (http://www.barbarawaxer.com). Waxer’s presentation can also be accessed online (http://www.uccs.edu/Documents/copyright/2017presentations/ViewfromtheBleachers.pdf).
