This book will give you an understanding of how images fit into your critical practice and how you can advance student learning with your own visual literacy. The importance of images and visual media in today’s culture is changing what it means to be literate in the 21st century. Digital technologies have made it possible for almost anyone to create and share visual media. Yet the pervasiveness of images and visual media does not necessarily mean that individuals are able to critically view, use, and produce visual content. This book provides you with the tools, strategies, and confidence to apply visual literacy in a library context. You will learn ways to develop students’ visual literacy and how to use visual materials to make your own teaching more engaging. Ideal for the busy librarian who needs ideas, activities, and teaching strategies that are ready to implement, this book • shows how to challenge students to delve into finding images, using images in the research process, interpreting and analysing images, creating visual communications, and using visual content ethically • provides ready-to-use learning activities for engaging critically with visual materials • offers tools and techniques for increasing one’s own visual literacy confidence • gives strategies for integrating, engaging with and advocating for visual literacy in libraries. With this book’s guidance, you can help students master visual literacy, a key competency in today’s media-saturated world, while also enlivening your teaching with visual materials. Visual Literacy for Libraries will be essential reading for librarians, information professionals and managers in all sectors, students of library and information science, school and higher education teachers and researchers.

Many of today's libraries and their workers are facing a skills crisis. By some estimates, an employee's current skills are only relevant for a maximum of five years, but other estimates put the longevity of current skills at only 18 months. Though it's crucial that library workers continuously upskill and reskill to keep up with technological changes, including those brought about by AI, because libraries have limited time, budgets, and resources to devote to helping staff keep up. But as Medaille demonstrates in this book, which draws on lessons learned from a three-year research project, it's still possible to adopt an inspiring, forward-thinking approach to upskilling, one that positions staff to succeed both now and in the future. Library administrators, managers, trainers, program leaders, branch heads, and staff members who work in public or academic libraries and are involved in learning or teaching new skills, or creating a skills strategy for their library, will discover why upskilling and reskilling are urgently needed by library workers to navigate information in the context of ever-changing technologies, and which skills are the most important; lessons that libraries can learn from the innovative approaches to workplace upskilling that are taking place in the corporate learning and development space; an incisive overview and analysis of learning initiatives currently underway at academic, public, and state libraries in the United States and Canada; key concepts related to learning and instructional design; the four E's of upskilling (education, experiences, exposures, and environment) and where they fit into library workplace training and development; research-based guidance on facing such challenges as how to get started, knowing what skills to plan for in the future, deciding upon appropriate learning initiatives, motivating staff to continually learn, evaluating skill development initiatives, and confronting issues related to cost, time, and organizational culture; and hands-on strategies for the integration of upskilling into library work across a broad range of skill types and library applications, including suggested activities, reflection points, examples, and tips throughout the book.
