With citation management software you can:
A great option is Zotero. Here's how to use it:
Plagiarism is using the work of someone else without giving that person credit.

Most plagiarism is unintentional.

Some examples:
Note: You do not have to give credit for information that is common knowledge! (e.g. the boiling point of water)

How not to do it:
Please note: these are general guidelines for using images (figures, tables, photographs, etc.) in your poster presentation.
***See the style manual for the citation style you are required to use for more complete information.
Including your own, original images (figures, tables, photographs, etc.)
All images require captions! Underneath the image, include a figure or table number, a title, and a brief description.
Reusing someone else's images (figures, tables, photographs, etc.)
In general:
Do I have to give attribution? YES!
Do I have to obtain copyright permission? MAYBE...
Here's more:
You must give credit, or attribution, to the creator of an image just as you must give credit to the author of text. By doing so, you avoid plagiarizing (i.e. claiming the image as your own). In your bibliography (AKA references or list of sources used) you generally reference the source of the image, not the image itself.
Many images have copyright protection (even if you do not see the copyright symbol!). Under the provision of "Fair Use", you can generally reuse images for a course-related paper/thesis or presentation (including a poster). Once you publish your work (e.g. publish your paper in a journal or post your poster online), the situation becomes less clear. Unless the image is in the public domain or under a creative commons license, you may need to obtain permission from the copyright holder to use the image.
This is only the tip of the iceberg as far as copyright goes! If you have specific questions, please contact Carol Howe or your professor.
Formatting reused images
Like your own images, resused images require captions! At a minimum, include a figure or table number and a title. In most cases, include a statement such as "Reproduced from reference #n". Include copyright information if copyright permission was obtained or there is a creative commons license.
