The goal of the LINCS Program Leadership and Improvement Special Collection is to provide access to quality online resources for adult basic and literacy education leaders to improve program services and outcomes.

Adult basic and literacy education leaders include program directors or managers, researchers, policy makers, funders, professional development staff, state adult education directors and staff, board members, learners, and adult education teachers.

This project, begun in 2003, is a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Adult Education; National Institute for Literacy; and the Center for Literacy Studies at The University of Tennessee.
