    Abstract
    Prairienet is a free-net affiliated with the National Public Telecomputing Network, that has been in operation since Nov 93 in the USA. Examines the extent to which Prairienet is serving as a community resource for networked communication and information access through an anylsis of usage patterns and logs

    Abstract
    The research reported here was conducted throughout 1998 under the auspices of the Community Networking Initiative (CNI), which seeks to increase participation of low-income, primarily African American, residents in a local community computer network. CNI project aims include analysis of information needs and exchange at the local level, delivery of computers and training to teens and adults, provision of technical assistance to community-based organizations, and redesign of Prairienet, the local community computer network, to make it a better tool for bridging the digital divide between low- and higher-income users. To analyze community information needs and exchange patterns--along with computing practices--data were gathered via in-depth household interviews, focus groups, written questionnaires, and a follow-up telephone interview that surveyed adult trainees about their use of equipment six months after they had completed their CNI training and received a computer for their household. In this paper, we focus on reporting and discussing results related to information exchange practices. We found that word-of-mouth exchanges with people in one's close social circle and contacts with community organizations appear to be the most important mechanisms for accessing and exchanging information about community activities and resources. Informal social networks also figured prominently in the exchange of information and support related to the CNI project itself. Based on our study results, the CNI project is seeking ways to introduce training and support programs that capitalize on existing social networks and are contextualized to community information needs and interests

    Abstract
    The US government has been active in the establishment of national and other levels of networking to connect various kinds of persons and groups throughout the country. Briefly examines the history and present state of federal initiatives in electronic networking (particularly the National Information Infrastructure (NII)) and the NREN. Looks at current trends and issues for electronic publishing that come from this federal activity; and identifies topics of fundamental interest to, and with major implications for, national policy that arise from electronic publishing. Explores electronic publishing in the context of federal networking initiatives and considers the implications of the growth of electronic publishing for national policy

    Abstract
    Describes a pilot study performed in the summer of 1993 to help develop instruments appropriate for a full-scale assessment of the Blacksburg Electronic Village. The Blacksburg Electronic Village is a joint effort of Virginia Polytechnic and State University, C&P Bell, and the town of Blacksburg, VA. It represents an attempt to 'wire the community' with high speed network connections in order to attract and provide new kinds of electronic information and communication services to town residents
