Welcome to the libguide for your Hamlet Playbill Project!
Use the home page to find databases and other websites to help you find images to use throughout your playbill. Resources for citing images may be found on the left, art databases in the center, and art museum collections on the right.
Most databases provide a citation for images or articles. However, if you get an image off the web, you'll want to cite it using the Chicago citation style since you are using the image in a Humanities class. You must cite the original location for the photo; never cite Google! Here are some examples:
Last, First M. Photograph Title. Month Date, Year Created. Collection, Museum/Institution, Location. Accessed Month Date, Year. URL.
