Abstract
The primary goals of the work described in this paper are to develop an improved understanding of UK community-based activities related to the creation and exchange of knowledge and to improve understanding of use and usability of new digital genres for organising, presenting, and finding community information. These goals have led us to investigate the character of UK Online Centres, and to discovery of the role of Centre managers, staff, and also of users. This paper presents extracts from a survey of related literature that we have carried out for the project.
