Need a Picture?

So you have a presentation, project, paper or assignment of some kind that requires a picture, music or sounds?

Most students (and adults) are used to going to Google images and copying down a pictures.   And, trully there is no need to visit Google images if you know where to go.  Below are some links to very good, smart sources that give you access to copyright free music, images and multimedia for use in your projects.

What is Creative Commons??

A non-profit organisation founded on the notion that some authors may not want to exercise all of the intellectual property rights the law affords them. Creative Commons has developed a set of free public licences to enable authors to share their work with others.
