Sourcing Content Assets
Third-party content refers to any content asset that is not original to the product being created. A content asset is any single element of content used in the delivery of a product. For example: images, videos, quotes, diagrams, tables, figures, concepts, extracts, whole articles, etc.
Wherever possible, incorporate content assets from related Corwin title(s) into the materials you create. If alternative sources are necessary, follow these guidelines:
- Limit the use of third-party content to what is essential.
- Corwin-owned content assets from unrelated Corwin titles may be used sparingly if approved by the relevant Corwin editor
- Use free or public domain stock images from vendors such as Pixaby or Unsplash.
- iStock can be used if there is a budget allocated for this purpose.
- Creative Commons materials with a CC-BY license are acceptable.
