Images - including photographs, diagrams and other illustrations – available in print or electronic sources are subject to copyright. Images in sources covered by the CLA Licence may be photocopied or scanned and distributed to students. They may also be included in presentations. It is important that full acknowledgement or attribution of the source is given. Any teaching material that includes scanned images and uploaded to Canvas should be reported to the Digital Scanning Service team.
Images that are freely available on the internet may still be protected by copyright and permission from the rights holder should be obtained before copying them. For teaching purposes it may be permissible to use them under the criticism or review or the illustration for instruction exceptions but they must be given full acknowledgement or attribution and care must be taken that they are not further distributed.
There are many sources of copyright cleared images available on the internet which provide images with permission for use in certain circumstances including teaching and private study, for example OpenVerse licensed images. You should always check the terms and conditions to ensure your use is legal and always fully acknowledge your source.
Further guidance can be found within the Guide to Copyright and Images (PDF, 375KB).
