Citing Images

in your projects

Which images can you use?

Only those you have permission to reuse… The artist has designated the piece for reuse The artist has given you permission to use

If it is being used for the educational setting and not presented outside of school walls, you may not need to get permission.

When do you need to cite? Whenever you use an image that you are not

responsible for creating. A reader might wish to know the source of an

image in order to pursue these ideas further

Microsoft Office. Star.

How do you cite?

Questions to ask: Who took the picture? What is the title? When was it taken? Who owns the image, if not the

photographer? (ex: Des Moines Register)

Where online did you find the image?

Cite in two places Provide a caption under the image itself,

listing the author and title of image/brief description. Link the image or create a hyperlink within the

caption to the original location. Create a complete citation for the Works

Cited Page at the end of your project. If your project is a poster, it’s generally

accepted to attach a works cited page. Use www.easybib.com
