- Abstract
- The recent explosion of community networks, such as Freenets, across North America has prompted the information and referral community to question whether community networks are providing, in part, a duplicate service; what the implications of their growth might be in terms of service delivery to the public; and whether their expansion might threaten the security of support for I&R agencies. Examines an aspect of the nascent rivalry between community networks and I&R agencies: how they differ in their control mechanisms and consequent management of community information. Suggests ways the 2 types of organizations can work together to provide the public with accurate and comprehensive community information
