Beth Dichter's insight:
The Daring Librarian has released a new "comic" that describes how to upload images in a Google Image Search as well as why this information may be important to you. She not only presents the visual (part of which is above) but also provides some additional links, and may introduce you to some new words, such as 'catfishing' (which is not fishing for catfish!). Along with the how to search and why to search she also provides an infographic that provides statistics on Real vs Fake Facebook pages that is an eye-opener.

Now instead of having to open the advanced search menu you can just click the "search tools" menu and select "usage rights" without leaving the search results page."
Beth Dichter's insight:
