The venerable Free Media Library here on the Media Commons site has just been overhauled with great new resources – and an updated look to match its new home! Here are all of the improvements:
- A link to the University Libraries Citation Guide is front and center, making it easy to learn how to cite all types of media.
- You can now search for all types of media using the Creative Commons Search at the top of each section.
- NASA is now featured in all sections since the site has been expanded to a full Media Archive.
- SpinXpress joins CC Search and NASA in each section as a new all-media resource
- Vimeo’s Creative Commons browser has been added to the Video section.
- SoundCloud’s CC search and browser has been dropped into the Audio section.
- Google Image Search is now searchable by level of Creative Commons license you require for your project!
- Descriptions have been updated and fleshed out across the board, making choosing a resource easier.
- The new, three column layout makes it easy to find out about the CC licenses you’ll find.
- And if you still need more sources, we now link to the Creative Commons Content Directory which has hundreds.
We’ll be adding more resources as we find them this summer, but check out the newly refurbished Free Media Library today to get started on your own hunt for great audio, images and video!
