Just as you would cite and reference any textual resources you have used in your work, it is important to correctly cite and reference any images that you use, whether they are taken from printed sources or found online.
For images from books and journals you should include:
- Author of book
- Year of publication (in round brackets)
- Title of book
- Place of publication: publisher
- Page reference of illustration and so on
- illus./fig./diagram/logo/table
For online photographs and images, you should include:
- Photographer/artist/creator
- Year of publication (in round brackets)
- Title of photograph/work (in italics)
- Available at: URL
- (Accessed/downloaded: date)
Most web sites will give an indication of how you should acknowledge materials downloaded from them and this information can usually be found in the Terms and Conditions section. It is always good practice to provide a link back to the original source of the image if it has been downloaded from the web.
