Poison ivy has three leaves together. Each leaf has three leaflets. It can grow as a vine or a bush.
Poison oak is harder to identify because the leaves have a variety of shapes but it always has them in threes.
There is a site called poison-ivy.org that has many pictures and will furnish pictures free to newspapers, magazines and book publishers as long as they are credited.
