LSDA NI published and distributed two quarterly periodicals in paper and electronic format, with an average paper circulation of 1000 copies: LSDA NI also published an occasional publication: ESOLutions - a glossy, full-colour with features relating to English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
In September 2008, LSDA NI signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate with NALA, Ireland's National Adult Literacy Agency.
This collaboration culminated in a cross-border Essential Skills Conference, held at Ballymascanlon House, Dundalk on Wednesday 26 November 2008.
An example of best practice for integrating literacy into the workplace was given by Patrick McCartan, CBE, Chairman of Belfast Health and Social Services Board.
A buyer for the whole organisation was not found and LSN and LSDA NI closed their doors for the last time several days before Christmas 2011.
