NIFL Announces New Grantees for LINCS Content Development Partners The National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE), has awarded nine new LINCS Content Development Partner grants to organizations specializing in adult education and literacy. The grants are awarded for a three-year period starting October 1, 2000. The purpose of this project is to establish a first generation of Content Development Partners to extend the work of the Literacy Information aNd Communication System (LINCS) in developing subject-oriented Special Collections of Internet-based resources for adult education and adult and family literacy practice. The Content Development Partners will maintain, refine, and enhance the existing LINCS Special Collections by locating, evaluating, and organizing Web-based resources and Web-based pointers to other materials (videos, research reports, etc.). These partners will work in collaboration with National LINCS staff and staff at the LINCS Regional Technology Centers (whose grantees will be announced in a separate posting). The LINCS Special Collections will be maintained by the following grantee organizations: * The new Assessment Special Collection will be developed by the Ohio Literacy Resource Center. * The Correctional Education Special Collection will now be maintained by the Correctional Education Association. * The Adult ESL Special Collection will now be maintained by California Literacy, Inc., in partnership with Laubach Literacy Action, Western/Pacific LINCS, and World Education, and will include resources on citizenship and civic participation. * The Family Literacy Special Collection will continue to be maintained by the Ohio Literacy Resource Center. * The Health & Literacy Special Collection will continue to be maintained by World Education, Inc. * The Literacy & Learning Disabilities Special Collection will now be maintained by the Center for Literacy Studies. * The newly combined Science & Numeracy Special Collection will be maintained by Western/Pacific LINCS in California (in collaboration with practitioners Susan Cowles and Nancy Markus). * The Technology Training Special Collection will now be coordinated by the Adult Literacy & Technology Network and the Sacramento County Office of Education. * The Workforce Education Special Collection will continue to be maintained by the Center for Literacy Studies. The NIFL will continue to maintain the Policy & Legislation Special Collection and to work with the Equipped for the Future National Center In keeping the EFF Special Collection updated. LINCS staff members are also working with other national partners to develop additional special collections.
