When making displays for the library, Flickr's Creative Commons banks were my go-to place for photos! My role at work has changed, but I still like using pre-permission-ed images for my work. I love the idea of supporting talented amateurs and recognizing both skill AND the willingness to share work freely. This collaborative spirit is at the heart of scholarship and creativity.
I may be mistaken, but didn't Google once allow Creative Commons searches too? I have found no mention of that in the current Advanced Search screen. I say BRING IT BACK!
