This panel examines the state of visually oriented research methods used within the domain of library and information science through a series of recently completed and in‐progress studies. The nature of the research questions being asked within studies using visual research methods forms the core of this examination and this is further clarified through an assessment of how these methods have been put into practice within the research process.
