Image Search Tips

Google Images is an excellent starting point for exploratory research, but be sure to expand the search further!

  • Use a SCAD Libraries recommended Image Database.
    • These will have high-quality images that will be well-suited for presentations, and come from verifiable sources.
  • Find the museum or collections that own a certain artwork or style of art.
    • This information is sometimes found in Wikipedia or in JSTOR.
    • Look for pages or links like "image collections," "online collections," or "digital library" on the institutions website.
  • Search an artist's name and the phrase "catalogue raisonné" in SCAD Libraries
    • Catalogues raisonnés are comprehensive listings of all known works by an artist, and might include images, and which museum or collection owns the work.

Image Citation

Should I cite images?

  • Yes! In addition to citing written sources (like articles and books), it's good practice to cite image sources as well.

How do I cite images?

  • The handout below, developed by the Writers' Studio, provides guidelines for image citation that are widely accepted at SCAD. The style manuals for APA, MLA, Chicago and Turabian styles can also be consulted regarding image citation.
