This book provides librarians and instructors with the tools, strategies, and confidence to apply visual literacy in a library and higher education context. Readers will not only learn about ways to develop students' visual literacy, but also how to use visual materials to make their instruction more engaging. This book shows how to challenge students to delve into finding images, using images in the research process, interpreting and analyzing images, creating visual communications, and using visual content ethically; provides ready-to-go learning activities for engaging critically with visual materials; offers tools and techniques for increasing one's own visual literacy confidence; and gives strategies for integrating, engaging with and advocating for visual literacy in libraries. With this book's guidance, academic professionals can help students master visual literacy while also enlivening instruction with visual materials.
