The library supports the citation manager Zotero. Here's how to use it:
With citation management software you can:
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.)
Please note: these are general guidelines for using reusing images. See the ACS style manual for comprehensive guidelines.
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.

The ACS Style Guide (Online)
by
In the time since the second edition of The ACS Style Guide was published, the rapid growth of electronic communication has dramatically changed the scientific, technical, and medical (STM) publication world. This dynamic mode of dissemination is enabling scientists, engineers, and medicalpractitioners all over the world to obtain and transmit information quickly and easily. An essential constant in this changing environment is the requirement that information remain accurate, clear, unambiguous, and ethically sound. This extensive revision of The ACS Style Guide thoroughly examines electronic tools now available to assist STM writers in preparing manuscripts and communicating with publishers. Valuable updates include discussions of markup languages, citation of electronic sources, online submission ofmanuscripts, and preparation of figures, tables, and structures. In keeping current with the changing environment, this edition also contains references to many resources on the internet. With this wealth of new information, The ACS Style Guide's Third Edition continues its long tradition of providing invaluable insight on ethics in scientific communication, the editorial process, copyright, conventions in chemistry, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and writing style for any STMauthor, reviewer, or editor. The Third Edition is the definitive source for all information needed to write, review, submit, and edit scholarly and scientific manuscripts.
