Abstract
Abstract The slower pace of growth for Broadband internet access has had a cascading effect on more rural areas causing slower growth and creating barriers to access the world wide web of information. This article examines Jones County, a rural county in eastern North Carolina, as an example of how we could possibly grow people where they live and grant internet access to rural citizens. One way to do this is with creative internet access in areas that are underserved to grow rural workforces in place. The article also examines growing the rural workforce, improving rural health, and improved telemedicine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources.
