Hi Gillian,

If you’re asking whether you would use Fig. for a PowerPoint image, the quick answer is yes.  The simplest version looks like this:

https://style.mla.org/formatting-figure-captions/  Other types of images may be captioned differently, see examples here: https://style.mla.org/formatting-papers/#tablesandillustrations  If this image is the ONLY thing you’re using from the source, you can just put the documentation in the figure caption and omit a works cited entry.

As another thought, I would want to poke around to learn where it originally came from – and would probably cite it there.  I’m getting more “picky” about who’s pushing stuff out and why ;-)

best,

debbie
