Citation Software

The library provides access to two citation software products:

  • RefWorks: Web-based software for managing bibliographic citations, creating bibliographies and incorporating citations as you write within Word.
  • EndNote: As with RefWorks, EndNote manages bibliographic citations, creates bibliographies, and "Cites While You Write" in Word. The main difference is that it is software loaded on your machine.

Citation libraries are transferrable between the two pieces of software. For more information on each resource, click on the respective link above.

Citing Images and Pictures

Images or pictures that you decide to use in a presentation or research papers must be cited. Only those that are obtained from royalty free clip art, such as the clip art available in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint do not need citing. Any items obtained from the web or scanned from a print source should be attributed to the owner of the copyrighted work.

As a general rule, the following elements are needed in the citation:

  • Artist's Name, if known
  • Title of Image
  • Title of the image, if known (if not, use a description)
  • Institution where held, if known.
  • Title of article or book (if applicable)
  • Author of article or book (if applicable)
  • Title and Date of magazine (if applicable)
  • Database name (if applicable)
  • Date of access if online or publication if originally from print material
  • URL (if applicable)
