In general treat this type of source as an article or a book.
Give information about the type of source in the brackets, e.g. table, graph, image, data set.
In undergraduate work you will be rarely asked to reproduce a table, figure or an image. If you do so, you must seek permission from the original author/source.
More commonly you will just refer to such a source like you would any other reference.
Make sure you include as much information as possible so that the original can be retrieved easily.
Treat images/figures or tables as direct quotes and provide full citation in the caption and again the reference list.
