A consortium of American Indian tribal colleges is creating an Information Science and Technology Learning Community (ISTLC). The ISTLC provides a range of education, training, and information-sharing services to the faculty, students, and professional IT staff at the participating institutions. The activities of the ISTLC are:(1) Strengthening the information science and technology and STEM programs at each participating college;(2) Establishing and maintaining a single community of information science practice and learning that includes faculty, students and IT staff at all consortium members;(3) Developing and disseminating successful practices, materials and technologies throughout the community of tribal colleges;(4) Creating linkages with industry, information/computer science departments at regional universities.The ISTLC provides a national model, making resource-challenged programs stronger through collaborative program development and delivery. It provides an effective approach for building coalitions that bring together key stakeholder groups as members of a single learning organization. The project is a pilot that can be expanded not only to all 32 Tribal Colleges, but also other community colleges around the nation, in particular those located in rural areas.

美国印第安人部落学院的一个联盟正在创建一个信息科学和技术学习社区(ISTLC)。ISTLC为参与机构的教职员工、学生和专业IT人员提供一系列教育、培训和信息共享服务。ISTLC的活动是：(1)加强每个参与大学的信息科学与技术和STEM项目；(2)建立和维护一个单一的信息科学实践和学习社区，其中包括所有联盟成员的教职员工、学生和IT人员；(3)在部落学院社区中开发和传播成功的做法、材料和技术；(4)与地区大学的工业、信息/计算机科学系建立联系。ISTLC提供了一个全国性的模式，通过合作项目的开发和交付，使资源面临挑战的项目变得更强大。它为建立联盟提供了一种有效的方法，这些联盟将关键的利益相关者群体聚集在一起，成为单一学习组织的成员。该项目是一个试点项目，不仅可以扩展到所有32所部落学院，还可以扩展到全国各地的其他社区大学，特别是那些位于农村地区的社区大学。
