INTRODUCTION

The Catalog of Adult Education Projects for Fiscal Year 1982 is the fifth in a series of annual listings of special adult education projects. It is designed to keep the field informed about recent developmental activities . funded by states under Section 310 of the Adult Education Act.

This year's catalog contains a number of improvements that we believe will enhance its usefulness: Appendix A lists project titles by catagory; Appendix B lists subjects (key words) found in project titles - this should be especially useful for those doing Adult Education research; Appendix'C lists projects by the states that funded them.

Appendix D lists over 180 products of all kinds created by projects during the year. Some projects have identified exactl-, how their products may be obtained, some have not. To search for products, please use the project contact as a starting point.

We hope you find the Catalog useful. If there are questions or suggestions about the publication, contact the Clearinghouse on Adult Education in *the Development and Dissemination Division/OVAE of the U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202-3586.
