- Image sources that allow reuse are posted on the EMG Intranet, North Carolina site, under Social Media
What it means:
- If a Master Gardener volunteer takes images in their role as a Master Gardener volunteer, NC State will own the copyright to those images.
- For example, you ask a volunteer to take pictures during an Extension event or to take pictures of plants in the demonstration garden for a specific volunteer activity. This time is reported as volunteer hours.
- If a Master Gardener volunteer contributes an image the volunteer took outside their role as a Master Gardener volunteer, NC State does NOT own the copyright to those images.
- For example, you need an image of a specific plant for an article and ask a volunteer if they already have an image of that plant they took “on their own time” (outside of EMG volunteer activities) that they are willing to share. They agree to send you an image and give you permission to use it in your article. NC State does not own the copyright to this image. In this situation:
- At a minimum: Ask the volunteer how to credit the image and add a citation to the image in the article
- Recommended: Ask the volunteer if they are willing to assign a Creative Commons license to the image and share it under that license. Include the photo credit and Creative Commons license info in the citation. For an example of a citation, see plant images posted on the Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox.
