ALADIN, the Adult Learning Documentation and Information Network,

ALADIN.....

ALADIN, the Adult Learning Documentation and Information Network, has been established to support networking and capacity building between documentation centres and libraries in the area of adult learning and literacy. It emerged in 1997 from a CONFINTEA V workshop in Hamburg which focused explicitly on adult education documentation and information.

ALADIN is working towards facilitating global access to information and documentation on adult learning and serving as an information broker between researchers, practitioners and policy makers by:sharing relevant information on adult learning; correcting the uneven distribution of adult learning documentation and information resources; providing training in adult learning knowledge management.

Today it comprises of 99 documentation centres in 48 countries in all regions of the world, with some being complex university libraries and research units, some being small NGO resource centres and others being virtual collections.

Adult Learning Links.....
More than 200 annotated Adult Learning Links have been added to the ALADIN website to enable users to search for full-text materials, online journals, databases, statistics, etc. in the area of adult learning.Important specific content areas of adult learning are included with their own group, such as “literacy” or “gender”.

The project was started in November 2002. In late 2013, all information services of ALADIN members were screened and the links were updated, reorganized and many new links were added.
This selection of links is constantly updated. Thank you for contacting the ALADIN Coordinator Lisa Krolak with any additions, changes or comments that keep the Adult Learning Links as relevant and helpful as possible.....

INTRODUCTION A feasibility study assesses the operational, technical and economic merits of the proposed project. The feasibility study is intended to be a preliminary review of the facts to see if it is worthy of proceeding to the analysis phase. From the systems analyst perspective, the feasibility analysis is the primary tool for recommending whether to proceed to the next phase or to discontinue the project. The feasibility study is a management-oriented activity. The objective of a feasibility study is to find out if an information system project can be done and to suggest possible alternative solutions. Projects are initiated for two broad reasons: 1.      Problems that lend themselves to systems solutions 2.      Opportunities for improving through: (a) upgrading systems (b) altering systems (c) installing new systems A feasibility study should provide management with enough information to decide: ·         Whether the project can be done ·         Whether

LIBRARY RESOURCES AND THEIR ROLE IN EDUCATION

INTRODUCTION Over the years, many libraries have supported education efforts by providing teaching resources, information and referral services. A more active approach has been taken by libraries offering educational classes or one-to-one tutoring programs. Many libraries have outreach programs designed to meet the needs of specific groups of people with limited educational skills. Library resource materials are distributed to the institutionalized, including those in prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and group homes for the elderly and disabled. In addition, some libraries offer programs for groups at risk for education-related problems. Adolescents have been targeted because lack of education has been associated with other problems including crime, pregnancy, unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, and school failure. After-school and summer educational programs have sought to encourage young people to become employable, contributing members of the community and gener
