Brief Description Resource:
This is the home page of the Community Infomatics Initiative in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. This initiative evolved over several years from efforts begin at the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana to extend internet connectivity to the schools and families in their local communities. The resources here provide a powerful example demonstrating how communities and educational institutions can work together to close the digital divide and promote equal access to technology resources in America's communities.
