How do you handle citations and bibliography for PowerPoint and poster reports?

Our students learn formal MLA style for their essays in English class.  But
when other teachers assign less formal research, it is still improper to
take the ideas, words, and images without crediting the source.

Do you use inline citations on the PowerPoint slides?  Do you have a
bibliographic slide at the end?  Or do you have students print out their
slides and add the citations manually for your eyes only?

And how do you handle poster presentations?  It's so easy to print out the
images--but where to handle the credits?  On the front?  In the
corner?  What's your advice?

I am concerned by the amount of plagiarism I see in informal reports, when
students do know how to give credit in their essays.  We need to teach some
semi-formal system for oral presentations with PowerPoint or poster displays.
