If an image is labeled "Clip Art," that doesn't mean it's free to use without license or credit. When in doubt, always identify your source. Citations should be used for any images you incorporate into your PowerPoint presentations to which you do not own the rights. When preparing a presentation for school or college credit, your professor may require citations even to those images that you own to show where you obtained the artwork.
