Abstract
The use of the Internet and networked computers are becoming commonplace within universities. However, the general public, natural resource industry, and public agencies typically lack experience with this communication technology. This article describes an Oregon pilot effort to enable rural leaders to use networked computing and worldwide databases through the Internet. The pilot project reveals ways the technology can be used to facilitate communication between diverse audiences separated by distance. It also demonstrates one way that universities can extend education to clientele upon demand by using networked computing technologies.
