*Summary*

The digital revolution is associated with the proliferation of visual
resources and with the increasing use of images in teaching, scholarly
activities, communication, and everyday information practices. Visual
information seeking and use is a growing area of research in information
science. The panel discussion will focus on theoretical and methodological
approaches to studying how users seek, select, apply, and organize visual
information in a range of information and communication practices. The
discussion about theory and research methodologies will be complemented by
an example of an empirical study and an inquiry into implications of social
media for image use research. The panel will contribute to a better
understanding of the current state of image research and will engage the
scholarly community in a debate about research methodology and theory
development.
