 "Literacy Online and the International Literacy Explorer:  Two New Electronic
Tools for Literacy Specialists"

The International Literacy Institute (ILI) is sponsoring two new electronic
tools for literacy specialists---Literacy Online, a new website dedicated to
providing useful information concerning literacy for researchers,
policymakers, and practitioners worldwide, and the International Literacy
Explorer, a multimedia tool for examining world literacy solutions in CD-ROM
format.  Literacy Online, which can be reached at 

www.literacyonline.org

and is co-sponsored with the National Center on Adult LIteracy (NCAL) and
promises to be a useful tool to help find specific literacy material in the
sea of information that now makes up the World Wide Web.  

The International Literacy Explorer (ILE) CD-ROM will provide information in a
more portable format.  Case studies in six topic areas will be included:
Rethinking Literacy, Language and Culture, Gender and Development, Teaching
and Learning, Quality and Innovation , and Educational Technology.  the ILE
will also include a statistics database as well as numerous ILI/NCAL reports,
and in the coming years is expected to be available in multilingual format.
For more information, contact the ILE or visit our redesigned website (noted
above).
