Reverse Image Search

Did you find an image but you're not sure where it came from? Do a reverse image search. 

You can also do an image search, right click on any image, and choose the option to search the internet for that image. 

How to make attributions next to an image

If you use images, such as photographs or clipart, in your presentation, you should also credit the source of the image. Do not reproduce images without permission. See the box "Creative Commons and Royalty-Free Images" in this guide to find sources for images that are "public use".

Use the acronym TASL to remember how to attribute images:

T - Title/Description

A - Author or creator

S - Source & date (Name of the website the image is from)

L - License or location (Creative Commons license or URL)

For example...
