• Digital Images


  • All images used in your projects should be cited properly regardless of where you obtained them. The question is not whether you have to cite them, but rather, whether or not you must obtain permission to use them at all.  You should always give credit to the original source.

    Citing Digital Images

    Google Images - Many people mistakenly assume that any images found on a google image search are okay to use however they choose. This is most definitely NOT the case. You can, however, find images using Google that are okay to use without asking permission. When searching, go to settings and then advanced search. At the bottom of the advanced search options you can change the usage rights to "free to use or share" or modify if applicable. 

    Here are some other sources that can help you find images you can use without asking permission from the contributor:
