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

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.
