6. Our Guidelines at CVHS
All images should come from copyright friendly sources
that either provide explicit WRITTEN permission for us to
use the photos at no charge OR photos that have a
Creative Commons license.
Provide image attribution (giving credit to the source) on a
slide, in a document, or in a multimedia Works Cited page.
Pay attention to the Creative Common license—for some
photos, you may not alter the original work. The library
staff can help you make this determination if you think you
may want to tweak the image with a photo editing tool.
