Jiahe Song, Chetan S. Sankar, Paramjit S. Kahai, David Mixson · Information Systems Management · 2015
Community informatics is emerging as the framework for systematically approaching information systems from a “community” perspective. We discuss how a particular form of information technology, digital signage, was used to solve some of the problems faced by a city and a non-profit association in a distressed community. An analysis of this implementation shows that a community informatics perspective is essential to designing and implementing information and communication technologies systems for communities.
