patterns; and the relationship of image to text in source materials. As background: According to the Association of College and Research Libraries 'Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education' adopted in 2011, visual literacy 'is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media. Visual literacy skills equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, intellectual, and technical components involved in the production and use of visual materials. A visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture.'
