Intended to help users of the Laubach Literacy Center find information about adult illiteracy, this guide contains information sources describing existing literacy programs (both basic illiteracy and functional illiteracy); publications about adult illiteracy from the state, national, and international perspectives; and sources and conditions of funding for proposed literacy programs and research. Following a presentation of definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations, the guide is essentially divided into five major subsections: (1) background information on adult illiteracy; (2) an introduction to government documents (including a brief legislative history of a sample bill, how to obtain government documents, a sample entry from the "Monthly Catalog," and sources for more information on government documents); (3) an explanation of how sources are cited in the guide; (4) sources of further information on adult illiteracy (including terms to look under, library browsing, information on adult literacy programs, a sampling of the research literature on adult illiteracy, relevant periodicals, offices to contact for more information, and legislators to contact); and (5) sources of funding (where to look for information on grants and places to apply for grants).
