Welcome to ICT4D Bibliography
This is a gathering of – mostly scholar – literature on subjects related to the impact of Information and Communication Technologies in the society, especially in Development. Thus, you’ll find readings about the Information Society, the Digital Divide, e-Readiness or Digital Literacy, as core themes, and e-Learning, e-Government or Open Access or Free Software as close aspects of ICT4D.
Browse by tag/category:
Or browse by the menu on the left. The database is organized around three main classes:
- Contacts, meaning people or institutions that have written, edited, coordinated... the works, and
- Works, referring articles, reports, journals, blogs…
- Bibligraphies, collection of works used on bibliographies for writings or presentations I made on my own.
Besides these main classes, five more attributes are assigned to Contacts, Works or both of them:
- Categories, meaning the subjects covered by the work or the contact. As categorizing is a hard thing to do, keep in mind that the categorization is rather subjective. To ease finding a contact or a work in its "proper" category, categories are not hierarchic, not even exclusive: are used as keywords or tags, so i.e. more than one category can be assigned to a work and same work can be found under more than one category. Feel free to suggest improvements on categories (or whatever in the site).
- Types of authors: quite a false friend definition, types of authors means if who signs the work is the author, the editor, the compiler... (a useless option you'd never use)
- Types of projects is a way of telling if the work is an article, a review, a report or whatever else. Useful to find especific kinds of content output (i.e. blogs ;)
- Languages, self-describing, concerning either (language of) works or (tongue of) contacts.
- Countries, self-describing too, only applicable to contacts (not really up to date)
To avoid long lists, you can also Search the database. Note that you can fill as much fields as you want, but that they combine under an "AND" combination search (i.e. the more fields you fill, the more restricted the search is).
