Crediting Resources

If you are doing a presentation or something, and get pictures from the internet you have to at least make a citation for it. If you just take a picture and thinks the picture is your and never made a citation your presentation is not fully finish. You have to make a citation cause you have to give credit to the photographer or the author of the picture, but first you need permission from the photographer.

After you get permission from the owner get the picture and put on your presentation. If you want to to complete the citation put one on a piece of document or paper. Now, I am going to tell how to write your citing in MLA format.


Citation in MLA Format
 
First, type or write the author's or photographer's name of the picture. After that add a period next to it, then type the name of the picture with open quote and closing quote and another preiod. Then type "image" with a period next to it. Now, we are almost done but we have to add where you got that picture/photo and put the date it was took and when you saw the the picture.
 
Figure Notes
 
Figure notes are needed to complete the citation, the cause of putting it there is if someone sees your presenation, ebook, etc. they will know the facts of the specific picture they can read the name the taker or the author. This is how you make a figure note first type the name of the picture then right photograper's name or author, and you are done but make the font small but make sure it is readible.

  1. Hi Dandy, I really enjoyed reading your blog post. Especially the figure note section, because I have learned a lot from it. It makes more sense to me now on how to make a figure note because of the steps. I noticed that you said that when you site a picture you need permission from the person that took it, is that true? As I said I enjoyed reading your blog post! Eli
