National Institute for Literacy - Literacy Information and Communication System

Established in 1995, the National Institute for Literacy online discussion lists give thousands of literacy stakeholders on-going professional development opportunities where participants can discuss the literacy field's critical issues; share resources, experiences, and ideas; ask questions of subject experts; and keep up-to-date on literacy issues.

Each discussion list is moderated by a national organization with expertise in the topic area.
