Resource of the ... 2. Images search on NLH

Featured resource today is the Image search engine from the National Library For Health .

While you can find images using Google or Ask you may well find an awful lot of junk before you find a high quality image. You also need to be aware that using imagesourced from the web can leave you in a dubious position in terms of copyright.

NLH Image search is a great way to search across a range of purely medical image collections - including some not available for free on the web (you will need your Athens username to see the full size versions of these). You get an instant preview and far reduce your risk in terms of copyright.

The images include Gray's Anatomy, dermatological images, ECG traces and more - all searched from a single box.

The KLS team are always happy to advise on Copyright questions.
