“…The first involves exploring implications for design that have arisen from this work, including design of connectionand environment-aware applications, user-friendly connectivity feedback, and systems that are tolerant of connection instability. A second avenue of future work involves embedded participatory research (e.g., [8]) with residents in the Northern parts of the country where both infrastructural and cultural factors appear to be impacting networked technology use the most. The areas are furthest from urban centers and dramatically effected by severe climate change and global economic issues.…”

While workers in an urban environment typically enjoy full speed, always available, broadband access, those in rural and remote environments do not necessarily have access to the same level of service. In this paper we describe insights from a qualitative study examining the benefits and continued challenges of using networked technologies for work purposes in rural and remote communities. Our findings indicate that work in these areas increasingly depends on networked technology to support in-situ and geographically distributed work practices, and to ameliorate health and safety issues, but that participants experience significant challenges in obtaining signal access and stability. We discuss implications for design and future research that arise from our findings.

The goal of the 3rd BooksOnline Workshop is to bring together researchers and industry practitioners in information retrieval, digital libraries, e-books, human computer interaction, publishing industry, and online book services to foster progress on addressing challenges and exploring opportunities around large collections of digital books and complementary media. Towards this goal, the workshop programme consists of contributions both from academia and industry, including two keynote talks: James Crawford from Google Books and John Mark Ockerbloom from the University of Pennsylvania.
