Abstract	This document contains guidelines and support materials to assist potential purchasers of computer-based adult literacy (CBAL) systems as they consider which specific system to purchase. Included in the document are the following: guidelines and evaluation criteria (written in question form) pertaining to seven areas affecting the purchasing decision for a specific adult literacy program, a discussion of the best sources for obtaining the information required to answer the questions, guidelines for using the evaluation criteria, and definitions of selected terms pertaining to CBAL systems. The evaluation criteria/questions are organized under the following category headings: equipment; cost, installation, and licensing; compatibility with the adult literacy program; flexibility; management; documentation and support; and sources of further information about individual CBAL systems. A worksheet designed to be used in developing a purchasing recommendation is also included. Appended are a 22-item annotated bibliography of publications about the use of computers in adult literacy programs and CBAL systems and a chart cross-referencing items in the annotated resources with six integrated learning systems: Autoskill, CCC, Josten's INVEST, PALS (Principle of the Alphabet Literacy System), Pathfinder, and PLATO.
