Welcome to Prairienet, a site for community connections through technology tools! We hope this website becomes a valuable resource about information technology and community development.

The Community Technology Forum is a blog where we invite you to let us know your experiences with technology in community!

The Engagement Projects tab will link you to information about a partial but growing list of community-university engagement projects throughout Illinois, nationally, and Internationally.

--
The Special Topics tab will link you to reports reviewing ways information and communication technologies can and are being used to support community development efforts.

This site is provided as one means for faculty, staff and students at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science and other units at the University of Illinois to interact with long-term and new community partners.

The Community Informatics Initiative promotes teaching and research related to community informatics (CI), the study of communities and how they interact with technology. Students and faculty who work in community informatics collaborate closely with community members to cultivate innovative technological solutions to the many issues facing society today including poverty, violence, food security, and more. People involved in CI use insights from fields such as sociology, planning, computer science, critical theory, women's studies, library and information science, and management studies to promote social, cultural, and economic development of communities. CI features hands-on engagement through partnerships with local, national, and international organizations through a project centered approach that allows students to experience the intersection of theory and practice as they build sustained relationships with communities.

The Community Informatics Initiative (CII) is supported by a 2007-11 Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and the Illinois Informatics Institute.
