Citing Images

When you find an image you are allowed to use, ask yourself:

?Am I citing this image in a traditional research paper, or is this a digital assignment such as a presentation?

?Is there a specific way the website is telling me to give credit, such as the image creator's name and URL?

??What is the URL of this image? It's not just www.google.ca!
