Abstract

As part of the Global Impact Study of Public Access to Information & Communication Technologies, this exploratory fieldwork contributes to background information and data on usage of public access to ICTs. For the majority of people interviewed, both users and non‐users or mediated/indirect users of the library venues, ICT is an important source of information that is handled with varying skills and trust. The Global Impact Study explores libraries, telecentres, and cybercafes in multiple areas of access and usage, including for communication and leisure, culture and language, education, employment, governance, and health.
