| Annotation | The "digital divide" between those who are able to exploit the potential of information and communications technologies (ICTs) and those who are not is seen as a major factor influencing wider social and economic inequalities. Brian Loader and Leigh Keeble of the Community Informatics Research and Applications Unit at the University of Teesside used 69 studies on which to base their evidence as to the effectiveness of community informatics initiatives in challenging this divide. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) published their full report, 'Challenging the digital divide? A review of online community support'. (RH). |
