| A Directory of Canadian Adult Literacy Research Now Online
 The Directory of
Canadian Adult Literacy Research in English was recently launched by the Centre
for Research on Literacy at the University of Alberta . The directory is funded
by the National Literacy Secretariat
and is being hosted by NALD. It will help to
make adult literacy research accessible to researchers and practitioners
throughout Canada including those in remote areas. It is hoped that the
directory will encourage further research and collaboration amongst those in
the literacy community.
Completed and ongoing literacy research conducted in Canada
since 1994 has been compiled. A description of each project and its findings is
included along with a 500 word annotation. In some instances a full-text
version can also be downloaded.
The directory can be found at
http://www.nald.ca/crd/start.htm.
It contains a very easy to use search tool similar to those found in library
databases. You can search for research by author, publication year, title,
subject, keyword, context or location. Research on technology and adult
literacy can be found using the following subject words: computers, computer
software, and technology.
