## Citing Images Found with Google

If you found your image through Google Image Search, remember to cite **the original page** on which the image appears, not the Google Images results page.  It's just like a textual web source: **cite the URL that takes you directly to the source.**

## Citing Images

Just like you would cite any textual source you use in a project or paper, you should give proper attribution for any images you include.  Each discipline has slightly different requirements, so check with your professor.

The **basic information** you should always note includes:

- the **title**
- the **artist/photographer/creator**
- the **source** (i.e., information about the book, journal, database, or web address where you found the image, including page numbers and publication information).

Check the appropriate **style manual** to find out what to do for each citation style.
