Tips for Searching Images
If you can’t find what you want at the URLs above, the followiong image-searching tips will help you find others:
* If you need free holiday clip art, put the word “free” in your search term. Why look at images you have to pay for if you know that’s not what you want? This can cut your searching time by more than half.
* Indicate if you want a specific subject within the free images. As an example, enter “free Santa Claus images” if that’s what you want. That will help the search engine give you more targeted results and keep you from having to pick through images you know you won’t use.
* Use image-search engines. Each major search engine has an image search feature, so use them to exclude even more unwanted search results. And you can usually see the images before you even have to click through, so this is probably the most useful time-saving tip of all.
