Abstract

The explosion in the number of Free-Nets and their organizing committees over the past 2 years attests to the popularity of community-based computing. But, the goal of these organizations are farther reaching than merely strength of numbers: they want to change their communities for the better. In order to assure an important and relevant place in the community, Free-Nets must face the history of the other community based information serevice provider: the public library. Once this is done, Free-Nets must focus on achieving results, not merely on achieving continued existence
