Abstract	A Merrimack Education Center (MEC) project was developed to provide technology consultation, expertise, and advice for capacity building and networking of adult center staff in regional locations in Massachusetts. Two pilot sites were installed to demonstrate the computer/skills center approach of teaching basic skills to adult learners. Six facilitators were established to provide technology assistance to adult educators. A computerized software reviews database was developed as a service to adult educators applying computers in their instructional programs. The software reviews data disk was designed to provide useful information about readily available computer software programs that have potential for use in adult education programs. Related program activities were continued MEC representation on the Adult Literacy and Technology Steering Committee for the Penn State University adult literacy and technology project, work on a partnership project with Digital Equipment Corporation to network and link superintendents through a workstation project, submission of a journal article describing the use of computers as tools in reducing adult literacy, review of MEC's "Computers in Adult Education Planning Guidebook," and dissemination activities through conferences and newsletters. The project made recommendations for consideration by the Massachusetts Department of Education and agencies responsible for adult literacy programs. (YLB)
