Visual literacy standards

The ACRL/IRIG Visual Literacy Standards Task Force has made a draft of the ACRL/IRIG Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education available. They are inviting feedback via their blog, or emailed to Denise Hattwig dhattwig@uw.edu - closing on March 31st.
The blog is at http://acrlvislitstandards.wordpress.com/ (it has an interesting account of how they worked to define visual literacy) and the draft standards at http://acrlvislitstandards.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/acrlirig_vlstandards_draft20110209.pdf
There is also a virtual open meeting to discuss them online at the ALA Midwinter conference on Wednesday 16th February, 11.30-13.00 Pacific Standard time (which is 8 hours behind UK time). You register at
