Brief History of NIFL

In 1992 the Literacy Act created NIFL, www.nifl.gov. Its purpose

was to develop a national database. To do this, NIFL devised

LINCS in 1994, www.nifl.gov/lincs. At that time LINCS could see

the potential use of the web to complete its mission. LINCS

created four regions: Eastern, Midwest, Southern, and Western-

Pacific. The focus of LINCS was to develop the infrastructure

(tools and standards) which would be used on the web. The

various regions began collecting resources. LINCS

staff/committee created a template for LINCS regions which gave

more cohesiveness to the project.
