Questions to consider when image searching
• What kind and how many images do I need?
• Do I need a specific image of a single work of art or am I looking for a group or category of images?
• What are the image resources available to me beyond the internet?
• Who can I ask for help with image searching?
• How will the use I have in mind for the image affect the media and format requirements of the image and my search?
• What is the source of the image’s descriptive information? How reliable is it?How can I verify its accuracy?
• Citing source imagery is giving the creator recognition for his/her work. What are the elements and form of an image citation?
