Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you all.
 
I would like to let you know that some final revisions have been made to
the new Special Collection in Assessment website.  You can find the
Collection at:
http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/
 
These final revisions should be helpful to users:
 
On the homepage, click on About This Site in the right toolbar; this
provides you with an overview of the Collection and its features, as
well as a brief history of the Special Collection and information on the
CKG (Core Knowledge Group) - who are responsible for poplulating the
site with quality resources.  A listing of CKG members, past and
present, is also there.
 
A number of international resources have been added; these are sprinkled
throughout the Collection - click on the 'roles' and look in the areas
entitled "Program Planning" or "Planning Assessment".  International
resources are identified by name at the end of the abstract:  i.e.:
(New Zealand).  Presently, resources from Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand are offered.
 
Click on Links & Directories in the right toolbar on the homepage; many
more links have been added here and they have been organized according
to topic areas including
<http://midwestlincs.org/assessment/links.htm#InternationalResc>
International Resources,
<http://midwestlincs.org/assessment/links.htm#K12Resc> K-12 Resources,
and  <http://midwestlincs.org/assessment/links.htm#ResearchOrgs>
Research Organizations, as well as a wealth of resources focused
directly on adult education, evaluation and testing.   I hope that this
re-organization of the links will be easier for the user than searching
down a lengthy, alphabetized listing.  
 
Do you have suggestions for the Collection?  Do you have resources or
links in mind that you think should be a part of the Collection?  Do you
have a glossary that you think should be linked to the Collection?  Do
you have feedback for what's missing at the Collection?  The least
number of resources is in the Student area - what should be in this
section?  How can the Collection be improved to best suit your needs?
Please let me know - this site is for your use, you should be a part of
building it.
 
I would like to send out a special thank you to Chris Cugino, Web
Specialist at the Ohio Literacy Resource Center - Chris' work and
creativity on the Collection are much appreciated!!
