Communities Online: Information and Communications Technology Case Studies

A set of nine case studies of information and technology projects and websites from throughout Aotearoa detailing success factors, lessons and achievements.

This resource was put together to help iwi, hapu and whanau, and community organisations make informed choices about using information and communications technology (ICT). It was published by the Community Development Group, Department of Internal Affairs, in 2002. Although a little dated, it is still worth reading.

There is also a section on Internet based resources to help organisations get online.
