Image Metadata

Citing your sources is important because:

• Giving credit (attribution) to original authors helps you avoid plagiarizing
• Citations allow your readers to find your sources
• Citations add credibility to your arguments
• Your professors expect it as part of standard academic discourse

To cite images, you will need at least some of this information (depending on what image you are citing, where it is held, the citation style you are using, etc.)

• Name of the photographer
• Title of work (if there is one)
• Date created
• Institution where it is held (if applicable)
• City of institution (if applicable)
• Database you used to access
• Date accessed
