Image Resources

A guide to finding, using, and citing images.

How to Cite Images

Properly citing the source of an image may be required by law in some cases, such as under the terms of some licenses, but not in other cases, such as when using copyrighted images, BUT proper citation is considered a standard practice, so will be expected in almost all circumstances.

Manage Citations with Mendeley or Zotero

Citation managers are applications that collect, manage, and cite research sources. MSU Mankato's librarians recommend Mendeley or Zotero. 

Mendeley or Zotero can help you:

  • Create bibliographies and in text citations for assignments and research projects. Available writing styles include APA, MLA, Chicago, and many more. 
  • Organize citations to create a personalized literature database.
  • Export citations for library databases and freely available websites.
  • Save and annotate PDFs.
