Studies In Media & Information Literacy Education (SIMILE) provides a venue
for scholarly articles that bridge the subject areas of bibliographic
instruction, information literacy, and media literacy and explores the ways
in which social and cultural environments impact media production and the
methods that could be used to teach the skills needed to "read" these
environments.
SIMILE presents innovative ways to impart the importance of media awareness
and literacy to students and the general public and therefore is a "must
read" for those in the fields of information/media studies, library science,
and education.
Published quarterly, this fully searchable online journal is an invaluable
resource for reference and teacher librarians, teachers, and professionals
who integrate media literacy concepts into instructional sessions.

JVL - Journal of Visual Literacy
The Journal of Visual Literacy (JVL) is a refereed, scholarly journal reflecting the eclectic nature of the membership of the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA). It invites manuscripts that explore empirical, theoretical, practical, or applied aspects of visual literacy and communication. The JVL provides an open forum in which researchers and practitioners can explore the evolving field of visual literacy. Manuscripts pertaining to the effective use of visuals in communication, education, business, the arts, law, commerce, medicine, design, and a wide variety of fields are encouraged. JVL is published twice annually, Spring and Autumn.
JVL encourages interdisciplinary authorship and assures authors of copyright protection for all contributions in both print and electronic forms.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. David Moore of Ohio University has been selected as the next JVL editor. Dr. Moore has strong support from both his University and individuals who will assist him in this endeavor. Welcome Dr. Moore to the IVLA Publications community!
