Images
Images, like other documents, can be scholarly or not. Here is what makes an image scholarly:
-
Do you know where the image comes from
-
Do you know who owns it
-
Do you know its original
Though Google Image Search is the easiest way to find a broad group of images, it’s also the riskiest. The images that people use on commercial websites or blogs are frequently altered, have no clear ownership, or are of poor quality. It’s often impossible to know if they’re legitimate or who you can go to for permissions.
Use the PVCC Library image databases to get authentic images with citations.
