The core goal of the INELI-ASEAN Project is the establishment of ASEAN Public Libraries Information Network (APLiN). The APLiN will serve as a network, information hub, common and practical platform wherein public libraries in Southeast Asia can connect with each other. It is a mechanism that will create future collaboration and partnerships among stakeholders within the region. It will provide easy access to vital information and a conducive venue for relevant knowledge, information exchange and best practices.
