Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
In this paper, we explore the socio-economic effects of internet use at the community information centres (CICs) on livelihoods in three regions of Ghana. Sustainable livelihood framework was used as a lens to understand the phenomena being studied. Primary and secondary data collection methods were used. Three CICs in three regions were purposively selected and qualitative research method was adopted for the study. The data were analysed using Nvivo. The findings showed that sending email information was largely the reason why people used the Internet. We found that through the Internet, people learn, develop new business ideas and expand the …

- Frames a visual way of thinking about textual materials
- Introduces the work of our research team—where we are now, and where we're headed
- Draws some connections between the parts
This presentation is very much a look into thinking in process and work in progress and proposes the following ideas:
- As a community, we can do much more with the digital images we're creating of textual materials than we've heretofore done.
- We aspire to have additional layers …
