[Advisors] Ryerson digital access session

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors. Just got off the Ryerson Leadership workshop on digital 
access. It is thoroughly interesting to see the amount of activity this 
topic is suddenly generating -- after being dormant for so long. A bit 
of déjà vu alright -- what is being discussed looks a lot like the CAP 
program.  It was lively discussion with lots of input from libraries 
(Vancouver, Toronto), the Toronto Digital Access Project and and a 
former colleague from the days of the CRACIN SSHRC project (2001-2005) 
Michael Lenzner who started the Montreal open wi-fi project called Il 
sans Fil.

Here is an interesting article about the "digital divide" you might 
enjoy. I will send around a link to the session recording once it comes 
through.
