The first digital literature documentation on vocational education and training appeared in 1996 in the form of a CD-ROM which contained around 25,000 references. Users now have access to approximately 60,000 documents stored in a central Internet-based VET database. This article traces the route which led to this. After looking back at the beginnings of the system 25 years ago, it goes on to outline current challenges and planned further developments.
