Research Analyst
eagould@u.washington.edu

Elizabeth will complete her Masters degree in Library & Information Sciences at the University of Washington in June, 2008. She also holds an undergraduate degree in the Earth Sciences from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Currently, Elizabeth is working with the Center for Information & Society studying the social and economic impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in developing countries. She is also in charge of a literature review that, in addition to impacts, is investigating public access to diverse ICT venues around the world. Elizabeth is especially interested in serving the information needs of underserved communities, particularly those at the bottom of the economic pyramid. She uses her interest in foreign countries and libraries to study what "public" means in terms of access to information for everyone.
