Is this image from Wikimedia Commons any good? Can I use it for publication? What about a photo I took myself? A scan from a museum? How do I cite an image that has a Creative Commons license, and what is Creative Commons anyway?
This workshop presents a practical framework to assess image rights and quality so you can move forward with using images in your dissertations, articles, book projects, and online projects. By assessing participants’ pre-submitted examples together (Complete the accompanying Google Form for any advance questions or submissions), we’ll cover an overview of image copyright and fair use as well as the basics of image quality so you can make sure your images are fit for publication. We’ll also look at (and provide you with) spreadsheet templates to track the images for your projects.
Please join the Italian Art Society’s Emerging Scholars Committee for the return of our annual CAA event! This year’s virtual event is on the topic of, “Publishing Images: An Intro to Image Rights and Quality.”

Bridget will discuss the most up-to-date information on image rights and obtaining images for publications.
