Image Sharing

Overview

Image sharing is a valuable social media tool for sharing information and making public health resources available to the public. Image sharing often involves posting images (photos, artwork, etc.) to public Web sites where they can be viewed, tagged, categorized, and even used by others.

Image sharing at CDC

CDC not only participates in public image sharing sites, but has also created its own site to share public health images.

Public Health Image Library

PHIL offers an organized, universal electronic gateway to CDC's pictures. CDC welcomes public health professionals, the media, laboratory scientists, educators, students, and the public to use this material for reference, teaching, presentations, and public health messages. PHIL content is organized into hierarchical categories of people, places, and science, and is presented as single images, image sets, and multimedia files.

Infographics
