Abstract	This booklet, which was produced as a follow-up to the Fifth International Conference on Adult Education, examines the need to establish a global community of adult learning through information, documentation, and development of a network of networks. Among the topics discussed are the following: issues and challenges emerging from uneven distribution of adult education documentation and resources in industrialized and developing countries and by geographical region (the knowledge explosion, the problem of uneven access, and the diversified nature of information); strategies for improving communication between centers; the complementary nature of electronic and conventional approaches to information dissemination; the need to strengthen collection of unpublished research papers and reports from all countries; ways of linking information dissemination and policymaking; and the role of adult learning information and documentation specialists. Concluding the booklet are the following: (1) a list of the agencies/organizations represented on the steering committee formed to guide the development of a global network of information and documentation centers that would counteract current imbalances in the collection and dissemination of literature/media and information on adult learning in different regions; and (2) suggestions for facilitating global exchange of information and documentation.
