Establishment of public computing centers (PCCs) has often been implemented within the digital divide framework and viewed as only stepping-stones towards preferred private access. However, a range of research indicates the ongoing importance of PCCs to meet both private and public computing needs. We used an evidence-based design approach to guide the implementation of a redesign of an active PCC located in an economically depressed metropolitan region of Illinois, USA. Results indicate that physical design is critical and inseparable from the overall success of the lab, leading towards positive changes in the use and perception of the lab.

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become an important factor in our personal lives as well as in our social organizations at work, at home, in our hospitals, in political institutions, and in the public media. While in work settings the dynamics of shared business goals, shared task systems, and professional delegation structures result in a relatively predictable and organized design context, the more open-ended and less-organized contexts of home or society present considerable challenges for applications of ICT.

Citizen participation in democratic processes in the United States has been facilitated and enhanced since the mid-1990s with the diffusion and adoption of computer networking. In its current form, however, the web strongly favors information consumers over information producers. Emerging technologies, such as web logs and wikis, seek to address this deficiency. In a series of focus group interviews, adult residents in Blacksburg and Montgomery County, Virginia reported on their needs, awareness, and other aspects of the use of these new tools.

Studies of learning and human-computer interaction have often focused on settings and practices that are relatively fixed and well- defined, such as a college-level course, a workgroup in a company, or a museum exploration. These studies have contributed much to our understanding of the potential and the problems associated with incorporating computers into collaborative practice.

Digital divide rhetoric is generally utopian, touting innovative models for collaboration, economic activity, learning, and civic engagement. However, as information and communication technologies (ICT) become more widely available, we cannot naively assume that historically underserved communities are reaping these benefits. Social reproduction theory provides a basis fo understanding how ICT may in fact serve to reproduce, rather than alleviate, inequality.

Technology-powered civic networks are social constructions that develop in relation to a particular macro-structure. Macro-structural realities such as differential access to power and resources modulate how effective actors are in inscribing their preferences into emergent network forms. With civic network design viewed as the locus of conflict and struggle, the designer must consciously cultivate an outlook of reflexivity. Social learning is foundational to the means as well as ends of socially-progressive design work. Current socially-progressive civic network design practice is analogous to advocacy planning in urban planning, where designers advocate for social inclusion.

Development of the ‘hybrid’ or ‘electronic’ library with a changing emphasis between physical and digital collections. Increasing availability of research information in electronic form capable of being accessed over global networks from anywhere and at any time. Significant changes in the information chain since direct communication between authors and readers is possible on a global scale. More co-operation among libraries through regional, national and international networks and consortia, and the development of consortial agreements with publishers. Changes in the concept of collection development in line with the gradual evolution of virtual collections. In the area of electronic information, agreements between libraries and publishers will no longer be primarily governed by copyright law but by contract law, which governs the nature of licences. Development of e-services and e-management in libraries. LIBER represents and promotes the interests of research libraries in Europe.
