Bridging the digital divide
 |
 |
It’s a busy time for the University’s WiderNet Project. Staff and volunteers are preparing to ship 400 refurbished computers to Africa.
Launched in 2000, the WiderNet Project, based in the UI School of Library and Information Science in the Graduate College, brings technology to developing countries. Since 2001, the project has donated more than 1,000 computers for use at universities in Africa. But all the computers in the world aren’t worth much if their users can’t afford access to the wealth of information that has been digitized and made available on the Internet.
Cliff Missen, director of the WiderNet Project, hopes to change all that with WiderNet’s eGranary Digital Library.
