 Finding reference information for an image on the internet. The basic format for referencing an electronic image is the same for other referencing. Find as much information as you can about the author, the year the image was created, the title, the type of work and where it was retrieved. You should also make sure you're not breaking any copyright regulations. The only way to ensure this is to use copyright free images. Use your own personal images or write to the owner of the image and ask permission. If you ask for and receive permission, make sure you show permission was granted when you reference the image by writing reproduced with permission from the creator. One place that allows images to be used copyright free is called Wikimedia Commons or you can use the advanced search function in search engines such as Google and choose the correct category for your image search. Once you have your image, it is time to look for the information. Let's look at some examples. You may be writing about the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and you find an image you want to include showing the Hong Kong campus. Click on the image and scroll down to the bottom which will give you all the information you need. In this case, Baycrest uploaded the photo so that name is the author. The title is Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was created on September the 1st, 2006 which gives you the year. The format is a photograph so your reference will look like this. However, not all images have this information. You may want to use a diagram of a typhoon. You have located it on the Hong Kong Observatory website. The format is a diagram but unlike the previous example, there's no obvious information about the author. Try and find more information by looking on the website and clicking on various headings that have links or look at the menu on the left hand side. In this case, under educational material on tropical cyclones. As you can see, there is no other information to help you find the creator of the image. If no author can be found, then use the title of the image instead of the author. In this case, instead of the author, you will write model vertical profile of a mature typhoon. At the very bottom of the page, you can see when the site was last updated. In this case, you can see it was updated on the 27th of December, 2012. So you can use that for the year. To look for copyright information, search for such links as important notices or copyright information. This is on the left hand side of the page at the bottom. In this case, there is a link to the Hong Kong Observatory about copyright but also a note to an electronic application form to ask permission to use this image. Your reference will look like this. Last of all, if your image has no author, no title and no date, you will describe the image and then put the retrieval information.
