The research and scholarly literature of the field of visual literacy is voluminous. The bibliography of Clemente
and Bohlin (1990), available from Educational Technology Publications, is 37 pages in length and contains about 400 entries from sources who, by and large, are not part of the visual literacy movement. In an attempt to map the field of
visual communication—which is even broader than the field of visual literacy—Moriarty (1995, Oct.) has evolved a taxonomy of the literature. She analyzed the input of 37 visual communication scholars in setting her 13 categories and 90
subcategories. These she has used much as one would use a key word classification system to classify the 1,600-plus
books and articles in her ever-growing bibliography.
