This video provides information about the Institutional Review Board approval for  the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives (DALN), sponsored by Ohio State University. The DALN serves a a home for preserving the literacy narratives of the community projects we describe in this iTunes University course.

The DALN is, primarily, a self-archiving repository of personal literacy narratives. This characteristic means that any contributor who wants to upload a personal literacy narrative to the DALN—or anyone who wants to assist community members in doing so--can unload literacy narratives under the terms of the DALN's IRB.
