Image library
To ensure everyone is working from the same pool of approved images, the image library has been uploaded to Flickr. We recommend only downloading the images you want to use rather than the whole image library at once.
Copyright
Copyright is now an unavoidable and important aspect of university life and you will need to think about it when you are communicating on behalf of the University.
Our copyright support service will help you navigate your way through copyright law so that you can:
- identify whether and how copyright issues affect your work
- make informed decisions on the best way to address copyright implications
- find out who to contact for further advice.
The University has a Copyright Literacy Strategy (pdf) that shows its commitment to supporting you in making informed decisions about copyright
