These are people who get asked regularly the dumbest questions on God's green earth. These people tolerate every kind of crank and eccentric and mouth-breather there is." (Garrison Keillor, _Lives of the Cowboys_) _______________________________________________________________________________ 1. The Institute for Psychohistory http://www.psychohistory.com/ The New York Institute for Psychohistory sponsors this new Website which features articles from _The Journal of Psychohistory_ and chapters from Lloyd deMause's, book-in-progress, Childhood and History. Titles such as "The Political Consequences of Child Abuse" by Alice Miller or "The Gulf War as a Mental Disorder" should prove of interest both to those new to psychohistory, "the science of historical motivation," and to those already involved in the field. The site also links to the Institute branches, the International Psychohistorical Association, related links of interest, and PSYCHOHISTORY, a discussion list and chat room (discussed in the September 19, 1997 Scout Report - http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/scout/report/archive/scout-970919.html#7), with archives.

California Virtual University http://www.california.edu/ California Virtual University is essentially a catalog of every virtual or technology-mediated distance education course or program offered by participating California colleges and universities. Users can search for a particular course or find information about pursuing a complete program of study from certificate level to PhD. The site summarizes important information about each course or program, such as in-state and out-of-state fees, email contacts, and registration details. For example, a search returned a list of 30 art-related course offerings at about 20 different institutions. By clicking on a title, "Visionary Artists: A Brief History of Multimedia," I found I could take this course, offered by San Francisco State University, by registering and paying a fee of $5.

Microsoft PR on "Encarta Africana" "Afropedia" To: Multiple recipients of list EQUILIBR <EQUILIBR[at]CMSA.BERKELEY.EDU> SOURCE: Microsoft Corp. Microsoft and Renowned Harvard Afro-American Scholar to Bring Black History Alive With Encarta Africana Technology Supplied by Microsoft Helps Fulfill Dream of Creating Electronic Compendium of African History and Culture REDMOND, Wash., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) and a group of leading African-American scholars today announced Microsoft(R) Encarta(R) Africana, a comprehensive multimedia reference resource on the history, geography and culture of Africa and people of African descent. Before an audience of 3,000 influential black journalists at the annual National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention, the team announced the launch of this unprecedented historical resource, scheduled for release in February 1999. Dr. Henry Louis ``Skip'' Gates Jr., chairman of Afro-American Studies at Harvard University, is leading the collaboration with Microsoft in conjunction with his colleague, Dr. Kwame Anthony Appiah. At the turn of the century, W.E.B. Du Bois, the leading African-American intellectual of the 20th century, proposed an ambitious dream to produce the first encyclopedia Africana -- a comprehensive reference work on Africa and people of African descent throughout the world. The Encarta Africana multimedia encyclopedia is inspired by this vision. ``For the first time, the story of Africa and its people will be told in a way never before possible -- through images, video, music and text brought together in a unique experience,'' Gates said. ``As the new millennium approaches, our research, combined with Microsoft's technology, is making Du Bois' dream a reality.'' Content Created by Two Teams of Experts In collaboration with Microsoft's expert editorial and technical teams, Afropaedia LLC will provide Encarta Africana's content, which will catalog the historical and cultural achievements of Africa and people of African descent from 4 million BCE (before the Common Era) to the present. Afropaedia is led by Gates and Appiah and comprises a distinguished team that includes scholars from Harvard University's department of Afro-American studies, the W.E.B Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research and the Committee on African Studies. ``We're breaking new ground with Encarta Africana,'' said Craig Bartholomew, learning business unit general manager at Microsoft. ``When Gates and Appiah approached us with the idea for Encarta Africana, we were instantly intrigued. Microsoft is pleased to work side by side with the Afropaedia team to create this unprecedented multimedia resource. It's an exciting addition to our award-winning Encarta reference product line.'' The Microsoft Encarta team, made up of several encyclopedia industry veterans from World Book Encyclopedia, Encyclopaedia Britannica and Grolier's Encyclopedia, will provide interactive technologies to incorporate the still images, video, audio and 360-degree views that will make up Encarta Africana. As an expansion to the Encarta reference line, this new encyclopedia will deliver the same rich multimedia experience, superior technology and world-class content found in the line of Encarta CD-ROM reference titles. Preparing for Today's World and Multicultural Education With the increased focus on African-American studies and other multicultural disciplines in today's classrooms, Encarta Africana gives educators and students an unprecedented research tool through its comprehensive collection of information on African history. ``Encarta Africana, which traces its roots back to W.E.B. DuBois' famous Encyclopedia Africana project, holds out the promise of becoming the reference of first choice for students of the black experience everywhere,'' said Ken Kister, author, ``Kister's Best Encyclopedias.'' ``Encarta Africana is the result of a collaboration between Microsoft and two African-American professors at Harvard,'' said Jesse Jackson, CEO of the National Rainbow Coalition/Operation Push. ``Its very existence shows how far black people have come since W.E.B. Du Bois first dreamed of an Encyclopedia Africana at the start of this century. It's great to have a product that shines light on the rich truth of black life, which our society has too long left in the shadows.'' ``The sixties created Black Studies and Black Studies created an incredible burst of exciting scholarship on Africa and the African Diaspora,'' said Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP and a leading civil rights activist. ``Building on that scholarship, Skip Gates and Kwame Appiah at Harvard have put together the first compendium of black knowledge for the computer age.'' Planned Pricing and Availability Microsoft Encarta Africana for the Microsoft Windows(R) 95 operating system is scheduled to be available in February 1999 for an estimated retail price of $49.95 after a $20 mail-in rebate discount offer*.

Telecenters and Libraries: New Technologies and New Partnerships By Steve Cisler August 4, 1998 Written for discussion and dissemination at the annual IFLA conference in Amsterdam, Holland, August 1998. Permission to reproduce or quote is granted for educational, non-profit community and library organizations. Comments and inquiries to <cisler[at]pobox.com> or 4415 Tilbury Drive, San José, California 95130 USA. 1-408-379-9076 <http://home.inreach.com/cisler/telecenter.htm> This paper introduces the concept of telecenters, directs the reader to some manuals and guidelines, as well as a number of projects around the world; explains why libraries can help make these projects a success and why libraries should consider extending their role to include the telecenter functions. Public Access to Computers and Information Technology Telecenters, telecentres, telecottages, community technology centers, networked learning centers, multipurpose community telecentres, digital clubhouses, cabinas públicas, espaces numérisés, telestugen, and learning access places are some of the names that are used for places that provide a range of activities and services that include access to information and communications technology for individual, social, and economic development. There is no agreed upon definition, except that each center has a physical space and some information technology for public use. There were projects in the late 1960s and early 1970s to allow public access to computers, but the first telecenter was established in Velmdalen, Sweden, in mid-1980s. They have spread all over the world. Not everyone is going to have a phone or computer in their home. Telecenters help meet the goal of "universal access" by providing community-based access to this technology. Some would say that the thousands of small offices that provide phone and fax service in Senegal are telecenters. Some, especially in Europe and Australia, are associated with telework and telecommuting projects. However, for the purpose of this paper, I am limiting my definition to those sites that provide at least public Internet access in addition to telephone and fax services. The range of technology provided will change depending on the needs and capabilities of the communities served. Some centers also include satellite links, video production equipment, digital photography services, computer repair and distribution services, rental of office space, and provision of Internet services to off-site users. Most of the centers are somewhat more modest than that, but it is crucial to remember that even the most connected, the most wired cities and regions such Silicon Valley California and Parthenay, France have these centers. International development agencies as well as organizations such as UNESCO and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) have, in the past two years, stepped up their activities to establish telecenters in many countries around the world. In many places, libraries have no role in the deployment or maintenance of these centers. I believe, based on experience in the U.S., that the lack of involvement by libraries is a mistake. The libraries lose the ability to strengthen ties with other groups in the community as well as donors, telecommunications companies, and other sectors of government. National libraries, as well as IFLA, need to partner with some of the national, regional and international players to share our own skills and commitment to service that have been the hallmark of our profession, long before there were computers, or even telephones. Without that commitment to service, the telecenters suffer. The successful telecenters include a strong training program, secure and well-maintained equipment and links, a business plan that makes the center sustainable, and a sense that the center is a place that community members want to use and feel pride that it is in their town or neighborhood. Having strong community involvement can help with the other points because resources from both inside and outside the community will be more readily available. This description does not differ from many a good library technology project, and indeed, some libraries are providing much the same kind of services as are the telecenters. In the United States, the Community Technology Center Network, which is comprised of 250 grass roots organizations, has 10 library sites as members. Other organizations include boys and girls clubs, community centers, churches, some schools that are opening their doors to the public after the children are finished for the day. For exploration of web resources, the CTCNet web site is a very good starting point. It lists the members, a complete setup manual in English, and includes addresses for online discussions of these issues. Examples of Telecenter Projects Here are a few examples of different public access projects in various countries. The Digital Clubhouse located in a shopping center in Sunnyvale, California, provides free training, access to the Internet, and courses on digital storytelling, using several dozen high end Macintosh and PC workstations. All of these have a fast connection to the Internet. They are working on some projects with the local public library, but most of their activity involves community organizations, especially those that would have trouble getting online or learning the advanced skills provided by the Clubhouse. Its strengths are the training staff, the strong emphasis on people meeting people at the center, and the interest taken by the high tech business community in Silicon Valley. This non-profit franchise model is being replicated in other U.S. states (Maryland and New York), and other countries have expressed interest in setting up their own. Training Center, Wa, Ghana. This is a town of 80,000 and only fifty computers. It is17 hours by bus from Accra, the capital. The telecomms costs are high within Ghana, and the phone line to the capital is not reliable. Electricity is available most of the day. With a Small Project Assistance Grant, Tod Bruning, a Peace Corps volunteer, established a small center with three computers, modem, and Internet access. Students may take courses for about $50 each, but this is much less expensive than commercial classes, and most students can double their pay from the skills they learn, even though the demand for Internet services is not high in Wa. Dover, Tasmania, is the southernmost town in Australia. This seaside town of 500 has one of the most stable telecentres in the Australian Rural Telecentre Association. Dover Community Telecentre Inc. provides desktop publishing services, hotel and inn bookings, information on local crafts, art, and gourmet foods, as well as e-mail and fax services for visitors. In Parthenay, France, the city is setting up seven digital spaces. The first is in the Armand Jubien Social Centre, and besides providing access to new media services, it will be a place for people to meet and exchange ideas about the technologies. This is supported by online discussions using electronic bulletin boards as well as free Internet access for the citizens. UNESCO and the ITU are backing rural multipurpose community telecentre (MCP) projects in Mozambique, Mali, Suriname, Honduras, Uganda, and South Africa, and other countries may be added. These are meant to be self-sustaining financially. The Peruvian Scientific Network (RCP) has set up 24 cabinas públicas in towns around the country for public access, and the city of Asuncion, Paraguay is setting up seven, one in each neighborhood in the capital. Industry Canada's Community Access Program (CAP), has funded more than 2200 rural systems, many of which are located in public libraries. The goal is to make Canada the most wired nation in the world by the early part of the next century. The current budget has money to establish 5000 urban centers as well. The Canadians are also helping other countries set up Multipurpose Community Telecentres and have provided a guide for the African projects. Library Involvement For a variety of reasons, many of these projects are being planned without involving librarians at the local or national level. Some libraries are occupied with providing traditional services with meager budgets and have decided that technology access is a lower priority than reading and literacy programs. Even those libraries that chose not to participate now should be aware of the telecenter projects underway. The international, national, and local efforts provide a library with an opportunity to offer assistance to the agencies planning the centers and perhaps to host such a center. However, the telecenters are being built, with or without our participation. The process of adding telecenter functions to a public library can be stimulating and very disruptive. The staff has to see the value in the changes, have adequate training, and be prepared for new kinds of library users or they will not be able to provide the kind of service that will attract a steady stream of people. Some library users will welcome the new services; others may resent the changes. Many Internet users want to use the technology for communications rather than purely for information access. Some libraries in the United States have already decided that they are only in the information business and prohibit library users from accessing any Internet communications services. Others offer their own communications services and training to the public. Preventing the use of email and online discussions in public access points is the 1990's equivalent of saying sssshhhh! to our customers. What can IFLA do? To continue this conversation, I recommend that a program during the 1999 conference in Bangkok be hosted for libraries that are working with telecenter planning teams in different countries. Organizing the program will allow librarians to discover who is already involved and begin to share information with others. Please contact me if this interests you.
