"Internet for Image Searching" is a new, free online tutorial to help staff
and students in universities and colleges to find digital images for their
learning and teaching:

The emphasis of the tutorial is on finding copyright cleared images which
are available free; facilitating quick, hassle-free access to a vast range
of online photographs and other visual resources.

This tutorial has been created by TASI - the JISC Advisory Service for
digital media, and Intute as part of the Virtual Training Suite, with
funding from the Higher Education Academy/JISC Collaboration Initiative.

An image resource that may be particularly useful for engineers is the "CAL visual for construction image database", created by Loughborough University http://www.engsc.ac.uk/resources/calvisual/index.asp

Also available for Bioscientists is the "Centre for bioscience image bank" http://www.bioscience.heacademy.ac.uk/imagebank/

For medical images, you could use "Anatomy TV" http://www.anatomy.tv/home.aspx "Images MD" http://www.images.md/ or the "Welcome Library" http://catalogue.wellcome.ac.uk/

The tutorial will introduce you to many other image sites.
