QUICK OVERVIEW OF HOW IMAGE LICENSING WORKS
Copyrighted Works
Copyright is a legal device that provides the author of a work of art, literature, or drama with the right to control how the work is used. Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and
granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright covers
both published and unpublished works which could include a blog post, music, artwork, photo, play, poem, novel, dance choreography, movie, software, architecture, and more. The intent of copyright law is to advance the progress of knowledge by giving an author of a work an economic incentive to create new works.
(Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines, University of Maryland Library, 2018)
Public Domain
Public domain refers to all works that are not protected by copyright and can be used without permission or without having to pay the original author/artist. Public domain images are marked CCO and essentially give free use of the image in however a user sees fits. Essentially, that means that content within the public domain can be copied, distributed, interpreted, and displayed in public for free as if they belong to everyone.

Creative Commons
A Creative Commons is one of several public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work. At the core of the Creative Commons license is the idea that every CC license ensures licensors get the credit for their work they deserve. It’s a standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work.
You will notice that many images are protected under various Creative Commons licenses. Artists typically upload their work and specify what users would need to provide (attribution-wise) in order to repurpose that work.
Check out the Creative Commons website for complete details on the various types of licenses.

HOW TO GIVE PROPER ATTRIBUTION TO IMAGES:
TASL METHOD AND NOODLETOOLS CITATION GENERATOR
"November 2009" by lswiecicki is licensed under CC BY 2.0
TASL METHOD OF ATTRIBUTION:
Add a line of text underneath the image providing four pieces of information (Creative Commons recommends using the acronym TASL to remember these):
T = the title of the image
A = the author (or artist)
S = the source (or where it is located online)
L = the license for the image
Ideally, the attribution should be placed fairly close to the image, so that those who view it connect the information to the picture.
NOODLE TOOLS: CITATION OF IMAGES
Use your NLHS NoodleTools Citation account to create a citation for an image or picture.
See example image and detailed instructions from Rasmssen University Library and Learning Services.
