National Adult Literacy Database

This bibliography was compiled for The Centre for Literacy's 2007 Summer Institute Libraries and Literacy: Making It Work. The literature listed here includes research studies, descriptive articles, guides and manuals. Selections address the principles, best practices and assessment of library involvement in literacy programs and describe the different forms such involvement takes, including programs run by libraries alone and collaborative programs that involve libraries and literacy providers.

These entries reflect the development of library-based literacy programs over the past decade, offering a set of essential readings on the issues and providing a basis for further research. Entries have been divided under the following headings: adult literacy; family literacy; library-run programs; second-language learners; toolkits, guides and research reports; websites; author index; and title index.
