Thank you to Ms. Barnstable and Catherine

A BIG thank you to Ms. Barnstable and the famous Catherine the Cat for their tips on copyright free images. Lincoln GVC students learned about many new copyright free sources on the web.  Thank you to Ms. Barnstable and her lovely cat Catherine.  Check out the pics above as well as notes from Ms. Barnstable about copyright.

From US News & World Report contribution to the Library of Congress
Further down the page there is a link to "rights and permission on the collection"

It gives a credit line, and this is how it would be attributed:

{{PD - Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, U.S. News & World Report Magazine Collection, [reproduction number, e.g., LC-U9-15739, frame 18].}}

Also a good idea to put the original URL; then no one will have any question about it's origin.

Simpler even to understand, is an OLD ART piece: Mona Lisa

I clicked on the restored image:

Scroll down the page to PERMISSION
You will see it is public domain because it is over 100 years after the artist's death. A little further down is a link about WHEN:: to use the PD-Art tag

Your credit will read: {{PD-Art}}
Also good to include the url of the page from which you took the image so people can look for themselves.
