About

Minnesota Literacy Council, St. Paul

Minnesota's Electronic Literacy Resource System (Minnesota LINCS) began in 1994 with the opening of the Minnesota/South Dakota Regional Adult Literacy Resource Center, housed at the University of St. Thomas, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The regional literacy resource center was formed as a result of the 1991 National Literacy Act with the intent of sharing teaching resources through a lending library and promoting educational uses of technology. In 1995, federal funding was eliminated for state literacy resource centers, and the lending library and technology training services were absorbed into the operations of the Literacy Training Network, also housed at the University of St. Thomas.
