INTRODUCTION

The 1973 edition of the Directory of Libraries and Infor-mation Centres in the Field of LTteracy follows the Pre-liminary Draft which was issued in October 1972. While theDirectory's format is essentially the same, some significantchanges in content have been made. The sections on Projectsin the Field of Literacy have beets omitted. These sectionswill be reinstated in future editions when new informationand documents on these projects are available. To aid theuser, an index of the libraries and information centresdescribed in this volume has been included.

We realize that many libraries which have significant col-lections in the field of literacy have been inadvertentlyomitted. We will appreciate information on these librariesso that they can be included in the next edition of theDirectory.

We appreciate the time and trouble taken by the personnelof organizations mentioned in the Directory in filling outour questionnaires, and welcome corrections and comments.
