[Air-L] World Information Access Project, 2007 Data Memos

[Philip Howard]

Dear AIR:  A series of short data memos from the World Information Access
Project are now online at www.wiareport.org.  Topics include -

The World's Libraries Online
The Urban Digital Divide I: Global Cities v. Regional Centers
The Urban Digital Divide II: Rich v. Poor Cities
National Dependency in the Information Age
Has Privatization Contributed to the Relative Decline of Internet Hosts
Africa?
Muslim Political Parties Grow Online

In addition, a there is *.pdf version of the briefing booklet we are sending
out to journalists, academics and policy makers.  It includes a particularly
cool map "Wired Countries of the World" with a original comparative data
about wired governments, political parties, libraries and civic groups in
190 countries.

Many people from this list are already on the mailing list and will be
getting a hardcopy of this map in the mail.  But if this looks particularly
interesting, send me an email and I'll happily make sure one is posted to
you.
