Libraries and Transliteracy Resource List

April 5, 2010
By

I have put together a Resources List over at the Libraries and Transliteracy blog.  People often ask me where to start or what to read.  This is a compilation of some of the reports I have read over the last 6 months or so.  I’ve tried to blog many of them on the LaT blog pulling out the key points and I will continue to do so.   But for those of you who want to read them yourselves, enjoy! I’ll continue to add to the list, making a dated added note after entries added after today. For those of you not familiar the Libraries and Transliteracy blog is a joint effort of Bobbi Newman, Buffy Hamilton and Tom Ipri. Our goal is to be an ongoing resource for those interested in libraries and transliteracy. We will be sharing information related to transliteracy (the new literacies, media literacy, digital literacy, 21st century literacies). You can subscribe via RSS feed or email.
