The Digital Divide and Rural Community Colleges: Problems and Prospects.
Katsinas, Stephen G.; Moeck, Pat
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v26 n3 p207-224 Mar 2002
Discusses the seriousness of the digital divide-the discrepancy between technology-literate and -illiterate people-in rural areas in the United States. Reports that rural young, minority, and single-parent households lag behind the national average in both personal computer ownership and Internet access. Offers suggestions for ways rural community colleges can address this issue. (Contains 21 references.) (NB)
