Description:
Approaches to Visual/Media Literacy in an Information Age: Is Seeing Understanding?
Interpreting visual imagery, and understand the messages, both the hidden and overt, are new skills we -- librarians, patrons, faculty, students and researchers -- need for the increasingly visual way information is packaged and delivered around us, and in particular, on the web. LITA & the ACRL Arts Technology and the Arts committee presents a panel of specialists who will help us "see" from several angles. Panelists will address the cataloging, metadata, teaching and interpretive challenges invovled in developing a new eye for traditional and electronic visual messages.
Primary Audience: Arts, humanities, and technology groups
Panelists:
Marta J. Huszar, Director of the Graduate Program in Design,
