The Center for Literacy
Resource Discovery Centre: A Library Transformed
Recognizing that a library is far more than the sum of its materials, we are calling ourselves a “resource discovery centre”, highlighting the expertise we offer to help clients navigate today’s overwhelming array of physical and virtual resources and information.
Recently we launched a monthly series of 'research scans': overviews of research developments in the adult literacy sector.
The Centre for Literacy is home to one of Canada’s largest and most comprehensive special collections on literacy and related topics. This collection includes a broad selection of teaching and learning materials; high-interest, low-level readers; research; policy information; and educational journals from around the world.
