Citing Images in Posters, Presentations & Videos

Images on a Poster

1. Find images from a reliable source when possible (e.g. Archive, Museum, Library, Book, Newspaper).

2. Find the original source of images by clicking a link if provided, or use google reverse image search.

3. Include a caption below your image (Title of image or description of image) with an in-text citation. No need to use Fig. 1 on a poster, though you do need to include this in a report or essay.

4. Make sure there there is enough information so that anyone reading your poster can easily find the original image that you have used.

5. Include your works cited page on the back of your poster.
