Images used in multimedia presentations (PowerPoint, etc.) require two (2) acknowledgements:
1. Beneath the image in your presentation, attribute/identify the image with a URL or originator (i.e. the photographer/artist's name). This can be brief, because you will enter the full citation in your Works Cited.
For example:
Image by Mark Dumont
2. Cite the image fully in your Works Cited page per the following (MLA). In NoodleTools choose "Website" then "Work of Visual Art" or "Chart/table," "Map" etc.
Contributor(s). Title of Photo/Image. Date. Name of Website, Publisher, Date of Publication, URL.
For example:
Dumont, Mark. Fiona the Hippo. 18 Feb. 2018. Flickr, images.app.goo.gl/
PGujwqqnMJnsuyvu9. Accessed 12 Feb. 2020.
