Hi Caroline. You may find the report of the Community Intermediaries Research Project of interest: http://www.unb.ca/cirp/ The research team looked at the impact of online Canadian federal government services on community-based organizations and their clients. All the best, Mary C. Milliken PhD Candidate UNBF Sociology *************** On 7/28/06, Caroline Haythornthwaite <haythorn@uiuc.edu> wrote: I'm looking for papers and/or discussion of the impact of governments putting information online, and who can then access that information. Can anyone help with reference(s) or author(s) on this topic? It may be with other discussions of the digital divide, or with e-government. I'd like something with data on who is and is not able to get this kind of informaton if possible, but also any discussion of the issue. Thanks.
