Blurring borders, visualizing connections

Abstract

Purpose This paper seeks to offer a rationale and practical suggestions for the integration of visual literacy instruction and information literacy instruction practice and theory. Design/methodology/approach The paper aligns visual literacy and information literacy competency standards, revealing connections and opportunities for practical integration during library instruction and traditional classroom instruction. Findings On analysis of 11 visual literacy competencies, three exhibit a strong relationship with the ACRL's Information Literacy Competency Standards. Practical implications The paper provides guidelines for teaching and learning scenarios that may be used in a library instruction session or as part of a course curriculum. Originality/value The paper advocates the alignment of visual literacy and information literacy competencies as a method for connecting multiple literacies in information literacy instruction.
