Dear members,
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) at the U.S. Department of Education are working together to encourage effective collaborations between libraries and adult education programs. The goal of this joint effort is to enhance the skills, employability, and quality of life of youth and adults with low skills.
On December 18, 2014 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. (ET), IMLS and OCTAE will host the webinar “Reboot Your Digital Strategy.” This webinar supports state and local level efforts to cross-train staff on digital literacy and builds awareness about national and regional Internet access expansion efforts. Reserve your seat to learn how to take advantage of national developments in digital literacy—register now at http://rebootdigital.eventbrite.com.
The webinar will feature a welcome by Susan H. Hildreth, Director of IMLS, and a panel of representatives from IMLS, OCTAE, and Everyone On. To learn more about how OCTAE and IMLS are working together to advance digital literacy, visit the OCTAE blog.
We encourage you to forward this announcement to your local library or adult education program colleagues and deepen your partnership this month!
Best regards,
The LINCS Community Team
