Copyright

Citation

Today, authors are frequently responsible for not only finding the pictures for their publications, but securing the permission for copyright as well.

It's much easier to use images from copyright-free or copyright-friendly collections (particularly Duke sponsored collections) than from the general world.  However, sometimes, specific images are necessary.

Citing Art and Images

Image citations typically include the following details:

  • Title
  • Artist/Creator name
  • Repository information (museum, library, or other owning institution)
  • Image source (database, website, book, postcard, vendor, etc.)
  • Date accessed
