I am trying to establish a graphic asset library for our course development. We have a few assets, but not enough for a fully functional development role. I was thinking to look at a couple of online graphic sites i.e. fotolia, shutterstock, dreamstime etc. Are there perhaps other ones that any of you are using? I do have a limited budget. I'd like to have great usage out of it. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Having an asset library is a great idea. Here's a few options to get you started...
MorgueFile.com >> Free for use in elearning courses. Do a search under free photos for "business" or "office" and you'll come up with some good high quality business-related photos.
Tons of free graphics, buttons, callouts, shapes, etc. are available in the Articulate Downloads section.
Microsoft Office imagery also has some really good images for downloads.
I know about of few of these. Not a bif proponent of office clip art. Yes, a few awesome photos, but other than that I sometimes just use it for quick prototyping.

Karen, you might also want to check out this past forum discussion: Stock Photo Sites. It has a lot of links and input from community members. They discuss both paid and free stock images, but I think you'll probably find some more valuable tidbits here. =)

Thanks Nicole. I didn't even think of doing a search first. This has loads of stuff. I guess I am not the only one that have asked this question

Here are 100 links to free foto websites - it's in German, but you'll find them http://www.lorm.de/2008/01/02/102-quellen-fuer-kostenlose-fotos/#Foto
Microsoft's Clip Art now has loads of photo images, some of which come from places like iStock that you'd have to pay for if you went directly.
Definitely better than the old style cutesy cartoons!
