Citing Images

Remember that you need to cite any images you use or reproduce, just like you would an article. The more information you can provide about an image, the better: the goal is to provide enough detail for viewers to be able to find the original image if desired. In general, this includes:

Creator of the Work. Title of the Work. (Year composed/created). Materials involved in completing the work (if known). Institution that houses the work. Retrieved Month, Day, Year from [permalink of website from which image was retrieved]. License (if applicable).

This can sometimes be complex and confusing. For help, refer to the sample images on this guide for examples, or click the "Citation Information" tab. For more detailed information on image citation and attribution, see these slides or contact Kristin Henrich (contact info @ right) for more info.
