The People's Network - from the Web site:
Lottery-funded by the New Opportunities Fund and managed by Resource, the People's Network project is part of the Government's commitment to give everyone in the UK the opportunity to use computers and access the Internet.
Public libraries will support the information needs of local businesses and community groups and provide access to Internet-based Government services.
Specially trained staff will be on hand to help people learn new skills and find the information they want.
More than 4000 ICT library centres will be up and running by the end of 2002.

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
