Finding and citing images

Yesterdays thoughts about autumn, fall, color, led to searching for appropriate images. This search led me to our Library Guides where we have a specific guide to help students find just the right visual for their project.

Those who use visuals in their work must give credit where credit is due. How do you cite a picture you've plucked off the Internet? Our guide has a page of examples of MLA and APA citations for pictures from a book or from the web. There are web sites with 'free' pictures that use Creative Commons licensing.

Honor the work of those who labor by giving them credit in an appropriate citation!
