Information on how to cite media in Wordpress or Canvas

Materials that you can post online

• Your original works of authorship to which you hold copyright.
• Works in the public domain.
• Copyrighted articles and materials that you have received written permission to use.
• Copyrighted materials allowed under the T.E.A.C.H. Act of 2002.
• Copyrighted materials that can be protected under a Fair Use legal defense.

All creative commons attributions 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
