Report on information access

World Information Access Project - 2006 Briefing Booklet - See also the main web site here.

This report is based on existing data from a variety of sources, so don't expect anything too earth shattering. I think some of the assumption might be stretching it a bit. For instance, finding #4 of the five that are mentioned concludes that "developing countries - especially countries in Latin America - are putting more cultural content online than they are pouring into books." As far as I can tell, the internet part of this claim is based entirely on the number of web hosts in each country. Going from there to cultural content seems a bit of a leap to me.
