This article discusses the author's difficulty in finding reports and additional commitments regarding the September 2000 National Literacy Summit steering committee's Action Agenda for Literacy in a report entitled "From the Margins to the Mainstream".

The lack of information makes the author wonder if there is actually much interest anymore in the Action Agenda among either the original sponsors and formulators of the Agenda, or the rest of the adult literacy education field. At the present time, it appears that there has not been much action toward moving the Adult Education and Literacy System (AELS) From the Margins to the Mainstream since the Action Agenda was launched.
