Description

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.
