Aladdin: Northwest Arkansas Community Information Network Project

The Northwest Arkansas Community Information Network project, Aladdin, is a joint effort between the University of Arkansas and community members with an interest in improving access to the information that affects our daily lives: politics, education, environment, and more, by making it available online through the Internet.

The Aladdin project was initiated by Chancellor Dan Ferritor, University of Arkansas, and John Lewis, President of the Bank of Fayetteville and UA National Development Council member. A demonstration project--a community information kiosk--will be housed in the lobby of the Bank of Fayetteville and also accessible through the Internet. Participants in the demonstration project come from various areas:

• Arts & Local History
• Community Development
• Community Services
• Education
• Government
• Public Libraries

List of all Aladdin participants

• technical design of a community network
• appropriate information services
• community planning, education, and fund raising

As you can see, the network is in its early stages of development, and its content is still developing. But with community participation, the network can become whatever "you" want it to be. Share your vision. Get connected. Let's communicate and shape our future collectively.
