A search conference about the impact of ICT on the social, community and non-profit sectors took place in October 2002. The Search Conference aimed to explore the following issues:

What are the aspirations that we have for the way in which ICT can change society in ways that were not previously available?

The Centre for Community Networking Research (CCNR) received major support from the Monash Research Fund in 2002 to undertake research about the uses of information and communications technologies (ICTs) by community and third sector organisations within Australia.

The outcomes of this research are presented here as the Monash Community ICT Index (CICT). The index is intended as part of a national longitudinal data series providing quantitative and qualitative indicators of use of ICTs by the participants in community organisations and their networks including, on a state-by-state basis, patterns of use and barriers to use. The creation of the Index has significant potential benefit for planning, policy development and national co-ordination as well as providing a basis for further research and analysis.

Provision of public Internet access has been viewed by government as the key step towards encouraging uptake among people who do not have access to technology in the home or office, and as an important means of building an equitable information society. In 2001 the Victorian Public Library Network provided over 1 million hours of public Internet access via more than 950 workstations located in over 240 sites across the state.

May 2, 2005. The Centre for Community Networking Research at Monash University
has finalised the consultation process and presented the Draft
Information Economy Strategy for Australian Civil Society, to the Information
Economy Division of the Department of Communications, Information Technology
and the Arts.
