Contact the rights holder if you are unsure. For further information see: Copyright and Related Rights Act (2000), Creative Commons, Flickr Creative Commons.  JISC Digital Media: this is an excellent resource, providing detailed information on finding and using images, digitisation, and managing your digital resources.  Sourcing images for publication (in an academic journal or book): it is likely that the publisher will require images to be at least 300 DPI’s (dots-per-inch). In ARTstor, images that are marked ‘IAP’ (Images for Academic Publishing) are suitable. However, before using an image, it is still necessary to get permission from the copyright holder. For non-IAP images you should request the copyright holder to send a publication-quality image for publication.  When including images in academic work, they should be numbered, and given a caption that identifies the artist, the title of the work (normally in italics), the date, medium, its present location (if known), its dimensions (if known): e.g. Masaccio, Madonna and Child, 1426, tempera on panel, London, National Gallery, 135.5 cm × 75 cm UCC Library, May 2012
