The search engine will retrieve web pages for your topic that are both OER and non OER and it is important to specify OER in your search criteria.
When you visit any site returned by the search results, you need to look for copyright information to ascertain that the resource is OER and you can re-use it. If the resource is not explicitly declared to be an OER (allowing you to re-use), you should not use it in making your OER.
===== Introducing OER as a criteria in your search =====
Search engines allow for search results to be filtered and displayed by license. You can do this by specifying OER as a criteria while setting your search preferences. In Google search you need to select <u>Settings → Advanced Search.</u> In Advanced Search, you can select Usage Rights as ‘free to use, share or modify, even commercially’ to get OER that you can re-use with or without modification.
