Videoconference" (November 30,2005)
 

On Wednesday, November 30th, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EST, the 
Partnership for a Nation of Learners (PNL) is sponsoring a 
"Community Collaboration Videoconference" designed to strengthen 
relationships among local museums, libraries, public broadcasting 
stations and public radio stations.  PNL is a new initiative 
started by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the 
Corporation for Public Broadcasting to encourage museums, 
libraries, and public broadcasters to work together to address 
educational needs on the local level. 

The videoconference host, Ray Suarez, from The Newshour with Jim 
Lehrer, will introduce the PNL initiative and talk about grant 
opportunities and explore areas for collaboration among museums, 
libraries, and broadcasters.
