Do you provide attribution for images in your lectures and presentations? If you don't, then consider:
If the source of the content does not contain all the information necessary for a complete citation, include as much detail as you can followed by a statement that the creator is unknown.
The attribution statement should be clear and legible. If it is not possible to include an attribution statement with the work copied, add it to a list of sources that clearly identifies which citation accompanies which work. (Adapted from Best practices for attribution by CreativeCommons.org. https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Best_practices_for_attribution under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.)
A good rule of thumb for what to include in an attribution statement is:
Title
Author
Source
License (terms of use)
If you've taken photos you wish to use, credit yourself. Not only might you get paid if Copyright Agency ever audits the sites using your photos, you are contributing to the academic community of inquiry at our institution. Also, consider linking back to your UniSA profile page so people can get in touch. If not, consider using a Creative Commons license and sharing the love. Otherwise, © YourName is acceptable.
If the images have been copied from the internet and likely, therefore, in reliance on the University's Educational Licenses to copy text and images for educational purposes, you also need to add a link to the Copyright Notice.
For more information about using images in teaching, please refer to Text, Images and Digital Readings.
To attribute images which I have copied from the web, is it sufficient just to include the URL of the website I copied the images from?
You should include at least the URL and the date accessed. If possible, also include the title and author of the image. The author might be the enterprise responsible.
If all the images in my PowerPoint presentation are from the same book, do I need to attribute every image on every slide?
No. It is not necessary to display the attributions on every slide. A blanket attribution statement, either at the end or at the beginning of your presentation, is sufficient, provided that the link between the attribution statement and the images copied is clear.
For example: Unless otherwise stated all images in this PowerPoint presentation sourced from [insert citation details].
What if I took the photos myself?
If you've taken photos you wish to use, credit yourself. Not only might you get paid if the Copyright Agency ever audits the sites using your photos, you are contributing to the academic community of inquiry at our institution. Also, consider linking back to your UniSA profile page so people can get in touch. If not, consider using a Creative Commons license and sharing the love. Otherwise, © YourName is acceptable.
