Dear Tech list subscribers,

On Tuesday you saw posted to this list, and to all NIFL discussion list
that you subscribe to, a message from Tanya Shuy and Mary Jo Maralit
announcing changes in format which entails full moderation of this and all
NIFL discussion lists.

This has been a change that NIFL has been considering for some time. As
more information about this change becomes available I will forward it to
you immediately.

Respectfully,
Mariann

************************
Dear Discussion List Participants,

The National Institute for Literacy sponsors electronic discussion lists to
facilitate dialogue about the latest literacy research and its applications
to instructional practice; promising policies and practices; and to promote
the exchange of ideas, resources, and experience.  Our goal is to enhance
professional development for educators and practitioners through ongoing
opportunities to learn, discuss, and reflect on critical literacy issues. 
Presently, the Institute is moving the discussion lists to a new format.
Beginning next month - November 2005, the discussion lists will switch over
to a fully moderated list.  Each discussion list addresses a specific topic
and is moderated by a practitioner with expertise who is responsible for
facilitating the discussion. 

We encourage discussion list participants to focus contributions to the
lists on the specific lists' subject areas and goals. Comments,
suggestions, references, and ideas posted to the discussion lists should
serve as resources for enhancing the field's capacity and knowledge base.
We encourage open discourse and an exchange of information, ideas, and
practices among all list subscribers.  Differences in perspectives and
ideas are welcome, especially when they are voiced in the spirit of
inquiry, curiosity, and mutual respect.  While the lists are specifically
designed to meet the needs of educators and practitioners, we encourage all
who have an interest in adult literacy to join the discussions.

We invite your continued participation on the discussion lists.

Sincerely,
Tanya Shuy and Mary Jo Maralit
National Institute for Literacy
