Another way to collect images is to create a Web Link to the online image. This will preserve hard drive space and retain the location of the image for proper crediting, but will require that you be online in order to view the image. To do this, instead of actually copying the image itself, you create a pointer to the image, known as the "image URL" (the Web address of the image), into another application.

Check the Image Mentor for a Model.

To obtain the image URL:
- Go directly to the Web site that contains the image by copying and pasting the Web site address into your browser's address field.
- Right click (PC) or hold your mouse down (Mac) on the image.
- Choose "Properties."
- Highlight/copy the image URL (it will end in .gif or .jpg, NOT .htm or .html).
- Create a title for the image so students will have some sense of what the image contains.
- Paste the image URL into a document such as a word processing file or html page. Many applications will recognize this as a hyperlink and will underline it, automatically creating a Web link for you.
Using the same image you found in the last step, paste its image URL and enter a title. If you no longer have it up on your screen, click on the Web site Address you already entered:
