Power of the Internet for Learning: Final Report of Web-Based
Education Commission
This report, published in December 2000 by a bi-partisan
congressional committee, covers different aspects of Web-based
learning (the promise) and examines the obstacles that keep
this technology from becoming common practice. The obstacles
include restricted access to broadband technologies, limited
professional development and research. You can also find
information on regulatory restrictions to e-learning, privacy
and protection, and funding issues. Recommendations of the
Commission can be found in the executive summary and include
a call to policymakers at all levels to "support the continuous
growth of educators through the use of technology."

Document
The library support examples shared in the FY2002 midterm
narrative report were as heartwarming as they were useful.
We have organized the examples into three areas: Exemplary
Library/Literacy Partnerships; Outreach to Adult Learners
and Their Families; and Literacy Program Support. Examples
were assigned subjectively and may overlap.
