'1,000 Ideas to Make Telecentres Work'- Announcement for contributing stories to the book
As public access centres, telecentres are continuously experimenting with new ideas in the areas of content, services and technology to broaden their reach and also enhance their relevance and acceptability within the community. There are many such instances where telecentre leaders have used indigenous ideas to make their telecentres more responsive to the needs of the community being served along with making it economically sustainable for themselves. To address these issues, telecentre.org and Centre for Science, Development and Media Studies (CSDMS) have conceptualised a book on '1,000 Ideas to Make Telecentres Work', which used to be a very popular section of the 'Telecentre Magazine'.

Survey of public access ICT venue users and operators

We are in the final stages of developing surveys of public access ICT venue users and operators. Through this process we are finding out how difficult it is to design a survey that captures all we want to know about public access venues and users and to keep the survey under 45 minutes. Developing the surveys has been a process of trade-offs to select questions for the survey instruments.
