Finding and Citing Images

Here’s the specific information you’ll need to locate when citing an image you found on Google Images:

1. Full name of the image’s creator, such as the name of the photographer or illustrator (if available).
2. Formal title of the image (if available) or a description of the image.
3. Name of the website where the image lives (Do not use Google as the name of the website!).
4. Publisher of the website where the image was found (if available).
5. Date this information was published on their site.
6. The URL

Notes:

• In MLA, If the image has a title, place it in quotation marks and include capital letters for the first letter in each important word and for pronouns. If it does not have an official title, create a simple description. Only capitalize the first letter in the description and the first letter for any pronouns.
• Only include the name of the publisher if it is different than the name of the author and title of the site.
• For URLs, remove http:// and https:// from the citation
