Step by Step directions for citing Creative Commons Images from Google:

1. Type a word or phrase in the Google search engine.

2. Click Images.

3. Click Tools.

4. Click Usage Rights. Under Usage Rights, make sure to choose “labeled for reuse”. The images are Creative Commons Images, meaning we have permission from the author to reuse them.

5. Click on the image you would like to use. Then click “Visit page”.

6. Once you visit the webpage, search for the information you need to make your citation: photograph title, description, author(s), website title, publisher, URL, date image was published, and date you accessed the image.

Example for dog image above:

photograph title- Too-cute-doggone-it-video-playlist

description- dog running in grass

author(s)-

website title- WikiMedia Commons

publisher- WikiMedia Commons

URL- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Too-cute-doggone-it-video-playlist.jpg#file

date image was published- June 14, 2016

date I accessed the image- December 8, 2016

** Note: The author isn’t listed so I skip that section on EasyBib.

7. Using the information from Step 6, use EasyBib to help you cite your image. (Fill in all the necessary information and this website will format it correctly.) See example below.

8. Click “Create Citation”.

Example:

Too-cute-doggone-it-video-playlist. Digital image. WikiMedia Commons. WikiMedia Commons, 14 June 2016. Web. 8 Dec. 2016.

9. Save your image. (Make sure to save your image somewhere where you can easily find the image again. For example, you might want to create a folder on your F Drive to store all your book commercial images.) Use “insert” to place your image in your presentation. Your citation should be under your image in your presentation. (Typically, the citation is smaller than the other text.)

Example:

Too-cute-doggone-it-video-playlist. Digital image. WikiMedia Commons. WikiMedia Commons, 14 June 2016. Web. 8 Dec. 2016.

**You need to go through this process for every image you use from Google. Remember, using Pics4Learning or Photos for Class (links on class webpage) might be a better place to find the majority of your images because they do the citation for you. This would save you a lot of time as you create your commercial.
