toc =Locating usable images= If you wish to make use of another person's image from FlickR it is vital that you select from images that have an appropriate creative commons licence applied. At present there are well in excess of 130,000,000 available images.

The following tools all enable you to easily search for CC licenced images. It's a matter of finding the one that suits best.

Searching in FlickR
Unfortunately it's a bit fiddly to search for CC licenced images within FlickR To do so:
 * 1) Enter your search term in the search box selecting the 'Everyone's uploads' option from the dropdown list
 * 2) Once the search results appear, click on Advanced Search next to the search box
 * 3) Scroll to the bottom of the page and check the CC box
 * 4) Click the search button again

FlickR Galleries
FlickR galleries enable you to curate up to 18 public photos or videos from other members (not your own images) into one place. Example: [|The eyes have it] While sets and collections are based on your own images, galleries are a little like collections of your favorites. To create a Gallery just go to a photo or video that you want to add and click "Add to gallery." From here you can create a new gallery or add the image to an existing one. If you do not see the "Add to gallery" link it is more than likely because the image is not public or because the member has opted out of galleries.
