The Intermountain Community Learning and Information Services (ICLIS) worked for 18 months to develop a model program to meet the educational and informational needs of rural adults by combining traditional methods and innovative technologies. The model consists of five concentric rings around a rural population circle with three additional circles connected from the outside. At the center of the matrix is the rural population. The next ring represents the ICLIS and Community Information Specialists located in the local public library of the project's two pilot sites (both located in Wyoming). The information specialists function as the brokers and channels through which needs and information flow between the inner and outer circles. The next ring to the community resources consists of the Wyoming Project Office (which is responsible for planning, development, fiscal, and management operations) and the project advisory group (13 representatives of resources and agencies throughout the state who are essentially responsible for connecting the next ring of external entities to the inner rings and target audience). The next two rings represent the major resource areas or links to those resources that are located inside and outside Wyoming. The outer ring represents interstate linkages within the project as well as the three other states participating in the project (Colorado, Montana, and Utah). ICLIS has already managed to further the educational opportunities for rural adults by establishing a microcomputer network, providing public access to library-based microcomputers, installing audioconferencing facilities, and offering two teleconferencing courses. An online interactive information exchange system is also being developed. (MN)
