Forwarded from the Library Literacy Electronic List:

This is a reminder about an important webcast scheduled for Friday,   
January 6, from 10:30 - noon.
The results of the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy have  
finally been released -- but what do the figures really tell us and  
how do we tell our communities and the news media what the numbers  
mean in terms of adult learners and adult basic education?  Join  
ProLiteracy Worldwide's Marsha Tait, senior vice president of public  
affairs and Rochelle Cassella, director of marketing and corporate  
communications for a presentation and question and answer session on  
analyzing and interpreting the 2003 NAAL.   This webcast is sponsored  
by California Library Literacy Services, in cooperation with   
ProLiteracy Worldwide.

Friday, January 6, 10:30 am - Noon  - FREE

3. Register for webcast

If you can't join us live, come view the archive afterwards at

	http://rurallibraries.org/webcasts/01-06-06/

The agenda will include:
* An analysis of the NAAL report
* Suggestions about how to talk to the media about it
* Some ideas about next steps we can all take to ensure good public  
relations and public awareness about literacy issues

About the Technology:  A webcast is where the presenters are in a  
studio broadcasting live over the Internet, so you don't have to  
travel - you can participate at your desktop computer.   Some  
libraries or literacy programs may want to project the webcast on a  
screen in a conference  room, so that several participants can watch  
together.
