Difference between revisions of "Use and citation of media in online formats"

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
