X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.6626 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 1030 Lines: 24 As part of its ongoing work in developing and strengthening LINCS' Family Literacy Special Collection (http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/FamilyLit/) , members of that collection's core knowledge group have been working to find ways to articulate not only the importance of family / intergenerational learning in and of itself, but also to express the rationale behind the importance of this particular collection of resources on the LINCS national website. What do you think? What is the importance of family literacy (in any way you choose to define it) *and* why is a collection of resources pertaining to intergenerational learning a necessary thing?

The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists. -Eric Hoffer, philosopher and author (1902-1983)
