    Community Information Centres in Nagaland with Emphases on Medziphema Block
    (INFLIBNET Center, 2006-11-09) Singson, Mangkholien
    The paper highlights the information needs and users’ dependence for information on Community Information Centres (CIC) in Nagaland with emphasis on Medziphema block. It also focuses on the effort needed for imparting computer literacy, information literacy for preparing and powering the underprivileged rural masses through the use of ICTs in such community centres. An attempt is made to reduce the challenges faced by disadvantaged communities such as lack of suitable skill set, language barriers and low literacy in using ICTs and the Internet through a simple, consistent and easy-to-use interface that requires low level competence from users and through accessibility to the use of multiple media (textual, audio, visual).
