Hi Lynda,

Thanks for the note about the webcast.  It has just been pointed out to 
me, however, that the EST for the webcast is actually 1:30-3:00 p.m.  The 
earlier time is for Pacific Time.

Dear listers,

*******
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

To participate live, go to

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

and take these three easy steps:

1. Test your computer (using the "Wizard" link at the bottom of the
page)
2. Download and print Speaker Slides and Handouts 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.
