2022 Fall DLC: Found! Government Images
Speakers
- Jennifer Castle, Assistant Professor, Instruction and Engagement Librarian, Tennessee State University
- Dominique Hallett, Government Information and STEM Librarian, Arkansas State University
Description
For the average person, locating and using images can be fraught with complications. To circumvent some of these issues, one may look for Government images, since broadly speaking, most Government images are considered public domain materials, unless otherwise noted. While there are obvious sources for Government images (e.g., Library of Congress and the National Archives and Records Administration), others may not be as apparent or as easily located, such as the Fish and Wildlife Service National Digital Library and Art in the Senate.
In this session, we will cover various sources of Government images that patrons might be interested in using and how to locate such sources.
