Long-term Plans

Because the Compendium is a work in progress, your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be used. As you read through the Compendium, consider the following questions:

What other materials, in print or on the Web, should be included?
What other organizations or agencies should be included?
What Web sites did you try to view, but could not?
What materials did you try to purchase, but could not?
What changes would you like to see made?

To have your input integrated into the online updates, please send your comments to World Education’s Health and Literacy Initiative; 44 Farnsworth Street; Boston, MA 02210-1211; or phone Sabrina Kurtz or Elizabeth Morrish at (617) 482-9485; or send e-mail to skurtz@worlded.org or emorrish@worlded.org.

Or, join in the discussion about health and literacy issues that has been ongoing on the NIFL-Health Listserv since 1996. Sponsored by the National Institute for Literacy, the NIFL-Health Listserv is an electronic discussion group linking literacy practitioners, health educators, medical providers, researchers, policy makers, and other interested parties.
