Copyright and use of images on web pages

It's on the web, so that must mean it's free to use. Not true! This 30 minute session will focus on the use of images and media clips on your web pages. Please join us to learn more about appropriate use and how to locate images that are freely available to use. We'll review what is permissible as well as how to identify copyright protected images and video and address any questions you may have.
