Colleagues:
 
Attached is a list of the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) and
LINCS sessions that will be offered next week at COABE in Philadelphia.
If you are going, please consider attending one of these sessions.  We
are extremely interested in getting your feedback and ideas on the
projects that are developed and run by the National Institute for
Literacy, and this would be a great opportunity for this.  
 
There is a session on using research in your practice, as well as
reports by distinguished researchers on their work in adult reading
instruction.
 
One of the sessions will discuss the new Regional Resource Center
Collections that are now being developed.  Some of you may be familiar
with the former version of the Special Collections that were previously
sponsored by the Institute.  This is your opportunity to help shape and
define the content of the Collections - which will be developed and
maintained for your use.
 
In terms of the Discussion Lists, you are a captive audience, but by
your own choice, so you must be getting something useful out of being on
a NIFL List.  We really want to know what that is and how we might be
able to improve the experience for you.  Below is more of a description
of the session on Using the Discussion Lists as Professional
Development.  Ok, it is also meant to entice you.  :-)
 
Looking forward to seeing you at COABE next week.
