Support for Literacy Education in Academic Libraries

Abstract

Functional illiteracy among adults is a growing national problem, yet a scarcity of research suggests that academic libraries do not play a role in the support of literacy education efforts.To better understand the current status of academic library services to support literacy education, a survey was conducted using twenty matched pairs of community college and four-year college libraries in eight Eastern states.The study revealed that all colleges in the sample have literacy-related programs, and that nearly all of these programs received library support.In some cases this support was extensive.
