Hi all,
 
I have a couple of things I wanted to alert you to in advance:
 
1.  Watch for the "LINCS Sessions at COABE" announcement, which will go
out today or tomorrow.  It lists all the fabulous sessions presented by
LINCS Colleagues that you can participate in at COABE - there is
something for everyone!  Also, LINCS will have an Exhibit Booth at COABE
as well - come by and see us!
 
2.  Have you ever tried to find an old post in the Assessment List
archive, but had a hard time finding it?  No longer!!!!  Soon our new
Discussion List Search engine will be unveiled for your use.  I have
been playing around with the draft and it is really super!  I will let
you know when it is launched.
 
3.  Another survey?!  Well..yes, but this one is being done by outside
reviewers of the LINCS collections, so it would be really helpful if
people spent a few minutes taking this survey.  The results will be used
as part of the overall evaluation that is being conducted on the LINCS
project.  Go to the Assessment Collection homepage at
http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/  and scroll to the bottom.
You will see the user survey there. 
 
4.  I am in the process of organizing a Guest Discussion with the
project directors of the NRC Report on Measuring Adult Literacy -
several of you asked about that, and I received several posts urging me
to hold this discussion.  I will let you know when details are
available.  In the meantime, I encourage you to go and read the interim
report, or at least the first half that really gives you the overview,
and consider what questions or comments you would like to make.
 
Thanks!
