[NLA] Info: NIFL 2002 plans to communicate about literacy to policymakers

[David J. Rosen]

Susan and others,

The NIFL PSAs were on a videotape in a kit called "Literacy, it's a
Whole New World" distributed to State Literacy Resource Centers
for a 1997 national literacy awareness campaign  Perhaps someone
from the NIFL could tell us if these materials are still available from
them or where, in West Virginia, you might find them.

I have posted your message to the NLA list because I thought others
might have the same question and would like to know where these
materials might be found.

Has anyone on the NLA list used the PSA's? If so, can you tell us how
you have used them and if you recommend them?
