The TCC Library databases are a great place to find images for your presentation! Many times you can use images that accompany the articles you use for your research. To make a copy of an image from an article in a database, use the right-click method described in the column on the left of this page. There are also a few TCC Library databases that have their own collection of images, sounds and videos that you can use for your PowerPoint presentation. Some of the most popular of these are:
Opposing Viewpoints in Context
Just be sure to make a note of which database you got the image from for your works cited page.
In addition to including a citation for your images on your works cited page, it is good practice to also include a credit line under the image on your presentation. This lets your audience know where you obtained the image. Below you will see an example of a credit line.
Images that you have drawn or taken with a phone/digital camera also work well for presentations. If you have a picture that you need to digitize, most campus Computer Centers have a scanner available for student use.
Clip art from Microsoft is also another option. These can be accessed directly from the PowerPoint application. You will not need to cite clip art images in your works cited page or have a credit line for them on your presentation.
