The purpose of this study was to develop an operating plan for the implementation and evaluation of an adult education network, AEDNET, and electronic journal, "New Horizons in Adult Education," at Nova Southeastern University (Florida). The following research questions were addressed in this study: (1) What does the literature indicate in regard to electronic networks and journals in adult education? What is an electronic network? What is meant by an electronic journal? What emerging technologies will impact this type of network and journal? What are the current academic networks and journals now in operation? How are they functioning? To what extent are their sponsoring agencies satisfied with their operations?; (2) What are the problems and issues surrounding the assumption, implementation, and expansion of an electronic network and refereed electronic journal?; (3) How should the policy-making advisory process be structured within the program and the university? How should the journal editorial review process function?; (4) How should the network and journal be funded? Are there appropriate sources for grants to continue and expand activities?; (5) How should their benefits and value be promoted within the university and the adult education practitioner and student community?; (6) How should faculty and students be trained? How should the network and journal be staffed?; (7) What information about the network and journal should be disseminated and how?; and (8) How should the network and journal be formally evaluated? Results indicate the importance of several areas of implementation: it is essential that an evaluation plan be developed and implemented, so that improvements and decisions related to the network and journal may be based on the needs and expectations of the participants, and improvement plans are needed for marketing, technology, staff/training/committees, and funding. Data is illustrated in 20 tables. (Contains 102 references.) (MAS)
