Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the
American Association of Museums (AAM) are proud to host the first-ever

encouraged (by April 8, 2005) as sessions are filling up fast.

"Encouraging partnerships between libraries and museums has been a focal
point of IMLS since passage of the Musuem and Library Services Act in 1996,"
said Dr. Robert S. Martin, Director of IMLS. "Over the years we have become
ever more convinced of the power of collaboration. Museum and Library Day at
the American Association of Museums Annual Meeting promises to inform
practice and spur innovation."
In partnership with AAM, three IMLS sessions will explore: innovative
collaborations between museums, libraries, and public broadcasting that
advance community goals; business planning for sustaining digital asset
management programs; and new partnership models that involve museums,
libraries, and other community organizations in creating effective learning
communities. AAM has also collaborated with the American Library Association
