==== Searching from known repositories ====
Like [https://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] is a popular text OER repository, [[commons:Main_Page|Wikimedia commons]] is a repository of media (images, audio and video). You can search for your topic in Wikimedia Commons, by simply typing the topic name in the search bar. We will do this for ‘Digital Story Telling’ (DST) which is the OER being created as an exemplar in this toolkit. [https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ Flickr] is also another popular source of OER images[[File:COL_-_Wikimedia_Commons_Search_Image_-_DST_.png|left|thumb|450x450px|Search and display DST on Wikimedia Commons]]

You can search for images relating DST to simply typing in Digital Story Telling in the search bar of the search engine and selecting the ‘Images’ link.
==== Search the web for image OER ====
You can use a search engine such as [https://google.com Google search engine] or [https://duckduckgo.com/ DuckDuckGo] search engine, using a FOSS web browser such as [https://www.mozilla.org/ Mozilla Firefox] to search for image OER. You can search for images relating DST to simply typing in Digital Story Telling in the search bar of the search engine and selecting the ‘Images’ link. As in the case of text, you can select images that are licensed for reuse by specifying the search settings.
