Call for chapters: Visualizing the Library: A Primer on visual research methods in Library and Information Sciences

Shailoo Bedi and Jenaya Webb are calling for chapters for a forthcoming book they are editing, to be published by Facet Visualizing the Library: A Primer on visual research methods in Library and Information Sciences. "The purpose of this book is to provide a strong theoretical and methodological context for the use of visual research methods for information studies and to showcase examples of visual research methods “in action”. As our users increasingly document, share, and narrate their lives through images on social media, we seek to harness the power of images to understand their experiences in information spaces." The editors are writing part 1 of the book, giving an overview of methods, and are seeking the chapters for part 2 which will "showcase contributions from researchers and practitioners using visual research methods in a variety of contexts (eg. galleries, libraries, archives, and museums)".
If you are interested "contact Shailoo Bedi (shailoo@uvic.ca) and Jenaya Webb (jenaya.webb@utoronto.ca) with a brief expression of interest by September 30th, 2018". If the idea is accepted, final chapters are due by May 31 2018, and the book should be published in 2020.
