Citing Images of Art

Citing images from online collections correctly is an important part of conducting research.  Providing credit to the publishers of electronic image will enable future scholars to find the correct source quickly.  Creating citations also allows students to critically assess the context in which they discovered the image.

Export Citation Managers - Endnote, etc.

The first step to export citations is to generate, or 'save,' them. You can then export selected image citations or an entire image group’s citation, to be saved outside of ARTstor for future use.

  1. To begin, select individual images with a single click. In the ARTstor navigation bar, click Tools > Save citations for selected images. This option is also available from the right- (or Control-) click shortcut menu.  -OR-
    Open an image group and in the ARTstor navigation bar click Tools > Save citations for image group. This option is also available from the right- (or Control-) click shortcut menu.
  2. A confirmation message appears confirming the citations were saved. To review what you’ve selected, click Tools > View and export citations. A new browser window will open displaying your saved citations as well as image thumbnails. Select the images you would like to export as bibliographic citations by checking the box above each image.
  3. At the top of the Saved citations page you have four export/ save options:
