Campaign for Literacy 105 books / 329 members / 33 posts PROJECT #2 is Underway!
Please see the Nominations only discussion thread and add your candidate! We will leave the Nominations OPEN until March 21, 2008.

The Campaign for Literacy (CFL) discussion group is action-oriented. It is for those who not only want to DISCUSS the issues and problems created when a person cannot read or write at a basic skills level, but also want to DO something about it where they live.

According to UNESCO:
"Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society."

A person who cannot read or write is a person who will likely have a low quality of life. Proficiency with communication skills is correlated with job status, housing status, income, education, happiness!

The Campaign for Literacy Group is committed to coming up with activities which we can all do to promote literacy in our home communities. We are also the place to be if you want to discuss literacy programs, literacy problems, solutions, experiences, consequences of illiteracy, the whole gamut from A - to - Z !

Make It Great! Business Books 40 books / 33 members / 10 posts If you love business books, then this group is for you. I don't read fiction, but I love business books. If you do too, join in and have fun!

The Personal MBA 39 books / 43 members / 3 posts Proponents of self-learning say that business schools are a waste of time and money. Josh Kaufman's "personal mba" program claims to teach you just as much, or more, of what you'd learn in a traditional MBA program. Can you learn everything you need from these books?
This group aims to read and discuss the orginal 40 books on the Personal MBA reading list, as well as any more recently published business books of acclaim. Will these books change the way you manage your career? Or help you start a new business?

Management & Business in General 60 books / 526 members / 39 posts Hi everyone,

As the title suggests this group is really about sharing with everyone our recommendations on good business and management books that we have come across.

I personally specialise in the field of Marketing in the Information Technology industry but believe in nurturing a broader interest in the management field overall.

it seems like we have gathered quite a few new members in the last few days. Please feel free to enrich this group with your discussions, questions and of course valuable suggestions and answers.

Dn't forget to add books to the shelf , im sure you have figured out how to do that by now and you do have all the rights.

happy sharing and learning...
