The Future of Literacy -- DeVoss

To access this essay go to the UCF libraries website. Search for the book Literate Lives in the Information Age. When you find the listing, click on the ebook option. You should be taken to another screen where you can read the full text of the book. The only part you need to read is Chapter 7, which is titled The Future of Literacy.
Your response for this essay will be due on Friday.

  1. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this issue but the UCF Library's website is telling me that all the available "copies" of the e-text are currently being used. Either UCF instituted a limit to how many people can view the e-book or it might just be my computer. Just a forewarning to anyone else.

  3. Ms. Best,
    What exactly is the assignment due for Friday? Do we have to post a brief response to the blog about this essay, or do we have to write a paper? Also, regarding the 13 pg essay we have to read, is that also due on Friday?

    Thank You,
    Chris

    @mbren I have been having this problem for the past 3 days. I thought I t would go away so I didn't post it on the blog. I tried at school today in between classes and at home. I get the same message
    "We're sorry, your library's copies of this eContent are currently in use. You may use the option(s) below.
    # View the Table of Contents of this title now

    # Request to be notified when this title becomes available".

    That was directly copied from UCF's Library Search.
