IMAGE RESOURCES and Copyright Restrictions.

Remember to cite the source for images and music- even if it's copyright free.

If you want to use an image from a source you are not sure about, citing the source does not make a difference -  you will have to get permission to use the image. 
Look at the interactive Permission Request Form at  http://www.landmark-project.com/permission1.php 
As well as the sites listed below, many organizations, such as Greenpeace, also give permission right on their copyright page for educational or non-commercial use.

The following sites allow the images in an educational context as long as students credit the source:

Wikipedia listing of public domain image sites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources#General_collections

The following site from Alberta describes in great detail how to assess
whether images are in the public domain, or what restrictions may apply to
them, how to find that out and what you might do about it (check out the
Obtaining permission page).

While the site does not discuss Videoclips, it would seem appropriate that
similar restrictions might apply.
