Stock Photography
|
Unfortunately, due to licensing agreements and costs, the library is unable to subscribe to any stock photography services. However, the following 2 sites for free images are recommended. |
|
| Morguefile — WWW One of How Magazines top five sources for free or low-budget stock photography (”Taking Stock.” How Magazine. August 2008 p 84). Very good search engine, truly free, and good quality images. |
|
| StockXchange — WWW Also has a good search engine for finding what you want, although it includes a lot of commercial images and it can be frustrating to limit to the free ones. |
