    ARLIS/NA Texas-Mexico Chapter Fall Meeting October 18-20, 2019 Houston, TX Research Roundtable Visual Literacy Is Information Literacy: Active Learning Helps Students Teach Themselves to Evaluate Images and Their Sources Shari Salisbury, Reference Librarian / Subject Specialist for Art & Art History, The University of Texas at San Antonio Students in art and art history are often asked by professors to use an image of an artwork in an assignment. In art history this may be for the purpose of formal analysis and research on its art historical context. In studio arts this may be for the purpose of inspiration or to use as an example to copy style or technique for their own art project. Some professors report that students are not careful to find good, representative art reproductions when given such an assignment. Working with art faculty teaching Drawing I at the University of Texas at San Antonio, the art librarian developed an active learning activity that aligns with standard four of the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, “The visually literate student evaluates images and their sources” and the first frame of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, “Authority is Constructed and Contextual.” Using prompts provided by the librarian in class, students teach themselves through individual investigation and group discussion that evaluating images also means evaluating their sources, which is foundational not only for visual literacy, but also for information literacy.
