| contents | An Examination of Library Involvement in the Literacy Education Programs of the North Carolina Community College System: A Perceptual Analysis. Vaughan, Elinor Folger Adult Basic Education College Libraries Community Colleges Illiteracy Library Cooperation Library Role Library Services Library Surveys Literacy Education State Surveys Two Year Colleges A study was conducted to explore the interrelationship of library and literacy education programs of the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS), and to identify the nature of library involvement in the accomplishment of the literacy education mission of the 58-member organization of two-year institutions. Students enrolled in the colleges' Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs who were described as functionally illiterate were specified as the literacy education client group. Three-part surveys were sent to the library program director and director of the ABE programs of 57 of the institutions of the NCCCS, requesting general information on the functions administered through the library; the amount of illiteracy in the service area and the role of various institutions and agencies, including the college, in providing literacy training; and the role of library services in literacy education. Study findings, based on a 100% response rate, included the following: (1) a minimal level of library services was offered to literacy education students of the NCCCS, and most services that were offered were considered traditional library services that required minimum amounts of staff time to plan and implement; (2) the literacy and library program directors considered increased opportunities for communication important to the development of a closer working relationship; (3) functional illiteracy was perceived to be widespread in North Carolina, with literacy program directors exhibiting a heightened consciousness of the pervasiveness of the problem; and (4) the NCCCS was perceived to be the primary provider of literacy education in the state. The survey instrument is appended. (Author/LAL) |
