Scholars of library and information studies introduce students in the field to methods of visual research. After a brief introduction, they cover visual research methods: discovery; librarian illustrated: the draw-and-write techniques as a visual method for libraries; rediscovering community heritage through three-dimensional laser scanning and visualization; making as storytelling: using draw-and-write and object elicitation in the design and study of a library makerspace; windows into library experience: the value of visual user-experience research methods; digital storytelling, archival research, and layers of practice: a critical pedagogical approach to visual literacy in university archives and special collections; and navigating the thresholds of information spaces: drawing and performance in action.

Visual Research Methods: An Introduction for Library and Information Studies is the first book to focus on visual methods in LIS, providing a comprehensive primer for students, educators, researchers and practitioners in the field.



Visual research methods (VRM) comprise a collection of methods that incorporate visual elements such as maps, drawings, photographs, videos, as well as three-dimensional objects into the research process. In addition, VRM including photo-elicitation, photovoice, draw-and-write techniques, and cognitive mapping are being leveraged to great effect to explore information experiences to investigate some of the central questions in the field; expand theoretical discussions in LIS; and improve library services and spaces. Visual Research Methods: An Introduction for Library and Information Studies is the first book to focus on visual methods in LIS, providing a comprehensive primer for students, educators, researchers and practitioners in the field. Contributed chapters in the book showcase examples of VRM in action and offer the insights, inspirations, and experiences of researchers and practitioners working with visual methods.

Arvustused

"This book is an excellent introduction to the use of visual research methods in library and information studies. The methods presented are attainable by most, and the variety of methods and uses provides a thorough overview of how visual research methods can enhance the research already being done in the field and provide opportunities for expansion." -- Durless Lumpkin * The Library Quarterly * 'A seminal and significant curriculum textbook, Visual Research Methods: An Introduction for Library and Information Studies is a core and unreservedly recommended addition to the Library Science collections of community and academic library systems. Ideal for library in-service training programs, it should be noted for library science students, academia, and professional librarians that Visual Research Methods: An Introduction for Library and Information Studies is also readily available in a paperback edition.' -- James A. Cox * Midwest Book Review * 'A useful tool that would complement more traditional methods textbooks in a LIS program and serve as inspiration or a point of reference for an information professional looking to integrate visual tools into applied research designs'

- Alison Hicks, Assistant Professor of Information Studies, UCL -- Alison Hicks * University of Toronto Press *

Jenaya Webb is the Public Services and Research Librarian at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) Library at the University of Toronto. She earned her MA in Anthropology at the University of Alberta where she examined the power of images as research evidence both to measure landscape change and to generate stories of place in Jasper National Park, AB. Since completing her MLIS at the University of Toronto, she has worked to bring visual methods and approaches to the library context to explore user experience, wayfinding, and meaning-making in library spaces.
