ABSTRACT
This catalog brings together literacy related
materials in all formats collected by the State Library of Louisiana.
Each collection or category of materials that makes up the Adult
Literacy Collection is given a separate place in the catalog. For
each category of materials there are at least two lists; the primary
list gives full bibliographic information, and the secondary list is
arranged by subject or class number. Four categories of materials are
included: (1) "Professional and Program Development Collection of
Printed Materials" is comprised of works that support literacy
research and program development and appear in a wide range of
formats (440 titles);
(2) "Video and Multi-Media Collection" includes
a variety of audiocassettes, videos, and multi-media sets available
to serve libraries, community organizations, tutors, and individuals
(3) "Computer Software Collection" contains materials
(82 titles) ;
that range from full instructional programs to simple typing
tutorials and educational games and is designed as an examination
collection not for general circulation (165 titles); and (4) "Adult
New Reader Collection" consists of high interest, low vocabulary
reading materials (approximately 1,300 titles). (JLB)
