You should ask your teacher what he/she wants you to do. If the clip art is from the Microsoft clip art collection, you are probably safe to cite the Microsoft clip art collection (or, with your teacher's permission, not cite the clip art). If your clip art is from a Web site, then you should probably cite it. The general rules for citation (the exact details vary by which style system you use--APA, MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, ...) a Author Last Name, Author First initial. (year). Title of work. Retrieved, (date of retrieval), from URL I included the Web site format. Note that you must have something in the author and year slot. If you can't find an author, you would put the title of the work or the organization there (e.g., Classroom ClipArt if you got it from ClassroomClipart.com). If you can't find a date, you would put n.d. instead of the date. For example, if you wanted to cite my picture of a buffalo that is here on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcovitz/3842356839/ You would do something like: Marcovitz, D. (2009). Yellowstone National Park Buffalo / Bison. Retrieved, March 1, 2010, from http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcovitz/3842356839/ Since this picture doesn't have a real title, I fudged a little and used the caption as the title (although I technically probably should have used the file name that is in place of the title or left the title slot blank, but the caption, in this case is much more useful). Note that my example is in APA style, but you should follow the style rules given to you by your teacher. --David -- David M.
