Where To Find OERs

Creative Common's CC Search

CC Search

CC Search is a tool that allows openly licensed and public domain works to be discovered and used by everyone. Creative Commons, the nonprofit behind CC Search, is the maker of the CC licenses, used over 1.4 billion times to help creators share knowledge and creativity online.

CC Search searches across more than 300 million images from open APIs and the Common Crawl dataset. It goes beyond simple search to aggregate results across multiple public repositories into a single catalog, and facilitates reuse through features like machine-generated tags and one-click attribution.

Google Image Search

Use the advanced image search by using the "Usage rights" filter

  1. Type in your search term within Google's Image search.
  2. Click on "Tools".
  3. Use the "Usage rights" dropdown menu and select the appropriate licensing rights. You may need to double check the website to make sure the images indeed do have CC licensing or permissions to be used.
