Hello Australian and GLAMtools lists, I read today on the Creative Commons Australia blog that CSIRIO's ScienceImage library has been re-licensed to CC-BY: http://creativecommons.org.au/blog/2014/04/csiro-releases-scienceimage-archive-4000-cc-by-photos-free-for-reuse/[for non-Australians CSIRO is our national science/research institute].
This is a fabulous series of images, nearly all of which are useful in WP articles as they are taken for 'scientific' purposes which means they are easily usable as educational images. Take a look: *http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/ <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/> * There's also over 500 documentary video files http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/search/?tags=&keyword=&library=&assettype=video&rgb=&deviation=30&page=1 Here are the subject areas they've divided things up into: - * Animals <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/animals/> * birds<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/birds/> fish <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/fish/> marine life<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/marine-life/> sheep <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/sheep/> - * Buildings <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/buildings/> * laboratories <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/laboratories/> radio telescopes <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/radio-telescopes/> - * Food <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/food/> * fruits<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/fruits/> vegetables <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/vegetables/> seafood<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/seafood/> - * Insects <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/insects/> * arachnids <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/arachnids/> moths<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/moths/> termites <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/termites/> - * Landscapes <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/landscapes/> * deserts <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/deserts/> farms<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/farms/> mountains <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/mountains/> - * People <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/people/> * In the lab <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/In-the-lab/> in the field<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/in-the-field/> - * Plants <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/plants/> * crops<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/crops/> flowers <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/flowers/> trees<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/trees/> - * Soil Science <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/soil-science/> * erosion<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/erosion/> mining <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/mining/> soils<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/soils/> - * Technology <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/technology/> * computers & computer equipment<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/computers---computer-equipment/> - * Textile <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/textile/> * wool and woollen products<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/wool-and-woollen-products/> - * Transportation <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/transportation/> * boats<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/boats/> - * Equipment <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/equipment/> * industrial equipment <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/industrial-equipment/> laboratories <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/laboratories/> - * Fire <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/fire/> * bushfire<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/bushfire/> fire management <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/fire-management/> - * Water <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/library/water/> * irrigation<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/irrigation/> lakes <http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/lakes/> rivers<http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/tag/rivers/> Could someone on the GLAMWikiToolset users see if you can neatly extract these files to mass upload them to Commons? Equally, we could try to contact CSIRO directly? -Liam wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata
