Searching for images of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work:
To search for images using books you can search PittCat using search terms such as "art index," "index to reproductions" (of "art," of "sculpture," or of "paintings," etc), or search for the name of a specific exhibition or museum along with the keyword "index," refined to books only.
To do a reverse image search go to images.google.com. Click the camera icon within the search box and upload an image that you have saved to your computer. You can also do this search by dragging and dropping an image into the search box, or searching by the image's URL.
Citing images for term papers or other assignment is just as important as citing journal articles, books, or other sources.
First make sure to:
