Building Community Information Systems: The Connected Kids Case.

The article highlights Connected Kids, a community information system project in Troy, New York, that began in a formal sense in 1999. Conceived as both a digital government project and a community information system, Connected Kids helped bridge one city's digital divide by providing new information technologies to youth organizations. In this project, a computer scientist and two social scientists along with students, worked together in a sequential and iterative collaborative process to design and develop a system featuring information about youth activities.
