Libraries, Telecentres, Cybercafes and Public Access to ICT: International Comparisons presents groundbreaking research on the new challenges and opportunities faced by public libraries, community telecentres, and cybercafés that offer public access to computers and other information and communication technologies. Written in plain language, the book presents an in-depth analysis of the spaces that serve underserved populations, bridge \"digital divides,\" and further social and economic development objectives, including employability. With examples and experiences from around the world, this book sheds light on a surprising and understudied facet of the digital revolution at a time when effective digital inclusion strategies are needed more than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Gomez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609607716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609607715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Science Reference\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.60w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 309","brand":"Ricardo Gomez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136825831679,"sku":"9781609607715","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67b32490-4aaa-4a6f-b956-64ca33991979.jpg?v=1770164777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/libraries-telecentres-cybercafes-and-public-ricardo-gomez-9781609607715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
