SOC 100: Digital Map Portfolio

Using the Chrome web browser, Search Google for images, as it has a feature to help you easily find images legally available for your use

1. Search for your location.  At the top of the results page, select images
    
2. Before doing anything else:
   1. Click on Tools -- a menu of options will appear
       
   2. Click on Usage Rights -- another menu will appear
       
   3. Select Creative Commons Licenses  --  the page will reload
       
3. Now proceed with selecting images, being sure to confirm they are in fact available to use!

Note: Some images have multiple licensing options -- just be sure to use the license with the fewest restrictions!  Also, if the image is noted as being in the "Public Domain," one can use it without attribution or linking to a license.

In StoryMapJS, when you upload an image via the Media box, remember to:

***Enter the name of the creator/photographer of the image in the box labeled: Credit.
 

***In the box labeled Caption:

• First, enter the text you want to accompany the photo on your slide.
   
• Next, copy/paste the code found via the link underneath the Caption box, or copy/paste this:
   

<a href="INSERT URL">TYPE HERE THE TEXT YOU WANT TO HAVE APPEAR AS THE LINK<⁄a>
 

Here is an example of how the content in the Caption box will appear:
 

This is Ely Fountain.<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/deed.en">  This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic license.</a> 

To see what this looks like in StoryMap, take a look at both slides here.  

***Note the second slide features a photo available in the "public domain" -- so the Credit box states: Photo available in the public domain.
