Constructing and Sharing Memory: Community Informatics, Identity and Empowerment; Selected Papers from the 3rd Prato International Community Informatics Conference; Community Informatics Research Network 9- 11 October 2006)

Community informatics is a developing field which brings together understandings about the interaction of communities and information and communication technologies from fields as diverse as Management and Information Systems, Library and Information Sciences, Community Development, Sociology, or Social and Community Welfare. A key assumption of community informatics is that technologies can be used for positive social change and development, particularly with disadvantaged communities or communities that hitherto, have not had a public voice.The volume brings together international perspectives around defining and debating the idea of community memory which, as Alex Byrne, President of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions observed in his splendid and wide-ranging keynote: "community memories are multilayered, changeable, conflicting and contested", and such multilayering, changeability, and dimensions of conflict and contest between different players provide fertile theoretical and practical ground for community informatics and its interdisciplinary cousins.
