What can I say? Another tool that allows you to search Flickr for images. FlickrLeech is another very simple tool to use. You can choose to search through photos using tags or for a particular user, group or interestingness.
You can also choose how you want the interface style to look, (I preferred the “dark” setting), what size you preferred the results to be shown on your screen, whether to show a preview when hovering over the picture, how many results are put up onto the screen and where you go when you click onto the image.
You can also choose to search in Advanced mode and ask for photos with particular CC licences.
Once you have sorted out your settings (it doesn’t take long) the search happens very quickly with the images found very clear and easy to see and it is easy to scroll down to fine the ones you prefer.
This is yet another very easy way to find CC images for students and staff.
