Notice

This site is being reconstructed. The pages that are currently visible are from the last time I taught LIS 610, which was in 2007. Although some things will undoubtedly remain the same, please do not use the material on these pages as a definitive resource for what the course will look like or what the readings or assignments will be. The new version of this website should be up and running shortly before the semester begins.

Mahalo (thank you) for your patience.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Report:
Toward Equality of Access: The Role of Public Libraries in Addressing the Digital Divide
"...finds public libraries have helped close the digital divide by providing free, public access to computers and the Internet, particularly for people without access at home or work. Yet despite widespread awareness of and support for library-based public access computing, libraries face significant challenges in sustaining and improving this service."
