Evaluates the importance of libraries in addressing the digital divide. Drawing from government statistics and independent research, the report finds widespread acceptance of library-based computer and Internet access from patrons and librarians. The report finds that public access computing is benefiting those socioeconomic groups with the greatest need. However, the report also notes urgent but manageable challenges facing libraries as they seek to maintain and further develop their role in providing access to digital information.
