Use and citation of media in online formats
From Help Wiki
Information on how to cite media in Wordpress or Canvas from work from the public domain
Images
Materials that you can post online
- Your original works of authorship to which you hold a copyright.
- Works in the public domain.
- Copyrighted articles and materials that you have received written permission to use.
- Materials with a creative commons license provided you follow the author's licensing requests
All creative commons citations should include the same information
- Title of image
- Creator name
- Source of image (url)
- Copyright information included with the image (i.e. watermark)
- CC license information (if possible link back to CC documentation page)
Databases
- (I.E. Flickr Wikimedia Commons Getty Images)
- Check terms of use
- If there are no specific citation requirements usually just the link to the image page and its corresponding database is fine
- At minimum make sure to cite Creator, Image, Title, Source
- If the image is from a print or electronic publication you include Creator, Title, Source
