Automating Literacy: A Challenge for Libraries: 24 (New Directions in Information Management) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This volume is a how-to guide to the use of computers in library-based adult literacy programs. Since the commitment to literacy training has become an integral part of libraries' efforts to offer equal access to information, Linda Main and Char Whitaker provide a comprehensive study of the efficacious role the computer can play in achieving this objective. The problems and successes associated with the introduction of computers into library literacy programs, as well as financial requirements, space, furniture, training, and the effect on other library operations are central to the study. The text also features a design for an ideal computerized literacy lab, an overview of compatible software, both existing and proposed, and a look at the rewards and challenges facing librarians, professional educators, and literacy program directors in the future. Appendixes provide country-wide information on libraries currently involved in automating literacy, main suppliers of literacy software, and consulting personnel.

Synopsis
This volume is a "how-to" guide to the use of computers in library-based literacy programmes. Taking as a point of departure the fact that commitment to literacy training has become an integral part of the libraries' efforts to offer everyone equal access to information, Linda Main and Char Whitaker provide a study of the efficacious role the computer can play in achieving this objective. The problems and successes associated with the introduction of computers into literacy programmes in libraries, as well as the accompanying issues of financial requirements, space, furniture, training and the effect on other library operations are central to the study. The text also features a design for an ideal computerized literacy lab, an overview of compatible software, both existing and proposed, and a look to the rewards and challenges facing librarians, professional educators and literacy programme directors in the future. Appendices provide country-wide information on libraries currently involved in automating literacy.
