Abstract

This paper is a summary of a final report that assessed the impact of providing Internet connectivity to rural public libraries. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine impacts on the librarians, libraries, local communities, and the larger Internet community as a results of Internet connectivity. The results of this study indicate that a number of important impacts and benefits resulted from the Internet connections, that such an approach is technological feasible, and that the librarians in the study were able to master the skills and competencies required. The paper describes critical success factors for public libraries connecting rural public libraries to the Internet
