James Marcum suggests
that the emerging visual culture is diminishing the dominance
of speech and print media: "Successful management of the growing incongruence between the traditional purposes and practices of education and libraries and the new realities requires clear grasp of visual culture, the tools and processes of visualization, and visual ecology generally."Marcum, J. W. (2002). Beyond visual culture: the challenge of visual ecology. portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2(2), 189-206. Available through Project Muse (subscription required). questions:How is today's increasingly visual culture impacting your library collections and/or reference and instruction services?How can librarians develop a better grasp of visual culture in general and visual literacy in particular? How can library instruction incorporate visual literacy concepts and skills? Or should it? | |
