The People’s Network is a national scheme to provide public access to the internet and other information and communications technology (ICT) services in every public library.
The People’s Network is a real success story, and now offers:
Access for all members of the community, including help for those with disabilities
Help in using e-government services offered by councils and government departments
Taster sessions and access to online learning, such as Learndirect
Valuable information, for example, on local community groups or local and family history
MLA North West's current work in this area includes:
Evaluating the success of the People's Network
Encouraging libraries in the region to participate in further national developments, such as the 'Enquire' on-line enquiry service
Participating in the national procurement project for electronic reference sources
