Finding free content

Whether you are describing someone else’s work within your dissertation, looking for music to add to your video or searching for a photo to incorporate in a web page, it is important that you have permission to use other people’s work. Material including text, photos, video clips and music must have been accessed legally. 

Unfortunately it is all too easy to find content that has been illegally made available online. Use of such material may be unlawful, so make sure you use reputable sites that provide access to resources in a legal way.

Here are some suggested sites that will help you to find free content that you can reuse.
