All members of the adult education community, wherever they are and whatever they do, have been confronted with lack of information and resources in their work. This is why the Documentation Centre of the UNESCO Institute for Education co-ordinates ALADIN, a network of more than 90 adult learning documentation and information services in all regions of the world. ALADIN, which has as its objective to counteract the imbalance in access to adult learning documentation and information, is committed to incorporate in its network those services who are not yet online. It is a fundamental principle of ALADIN that the exchange of information through the WWW cannot completely replace the more traditional exchange of media. While working to create and strengthen the technological capacity of its members, the network promotes the integration of new technologies with traditional means of communication. Only 20% of ALADIN members so far have data bases accessible via this homepage. Information available in all the other ALADIN bases should also be consulted therefore.    Contact: Ursula Giere, UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg
