Workplace List Subscribers,

In looking at the resource in this announcement, I notice several parts 
that may be of interest to the list, so I am forwarding it.  Notice 
especially the Immigrants in the United States and the 
Workforce  bibliography in the "Next Steps in the Literacy Agenda" 
section.  Most of the resources in this extended bibliography are online.
