The Australian Council for Adult Literacy (ACAL) supports adult literacy promotion. It thus provides a forum offering an opportunity for practical exchange, and the Council also supports research on adult literacy promotion. The ACAL website features a newsletter, the so-called Literacy Link, as well as the ACAL eNews, an electronic newsletter readers can subscribe to (back issues can be accessed). “Literacy Live“ offers a virtual conference room, and the domain of “Papers and Reports“ features reports, essays and other material on reading promotion in Australia. A comprehensive collection of links provides insights into other projects and institutions working in the field of reading and adult literacy. Furthermore, the site offers access to providers of reading and literacy opportunities, including the „Reading Writing Hotline“.
