[Of course, Project Gutenberg, perhaps the largest literacy project, was not contacted about this.]
The Literacy Project, a portal to connect literacy organizations around the world, was announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany. It was created in a collaboration among Google, the Frankfurt Book Fair literacy campaign, and UNESCO’s Institute for Lifelong Learning.
Google’s new online service lets teachers, organizations, and people interested in literacy use the Internet to search for and share relevant information through blogs, videos, and groups. Searchers can also locate literacy organizations using a zoomable world map.
