Get online to Cambridge Information!

Anne Campbell MP launched the Cambridge Online City project on Monday 29 January at Cambridge Central Library.

Online City brings free access to the Internet at a variety of public places in Cambridge as well as access to information about Cambridge from its very own Web site and users will be able to use the full resources of the Internet.

Online City has published a set of pages on the World Wide Web and placed public Internet access terminals at a number of sites around Cambridge.

The Online City Web site includes:

• a searchable database of more than 4,000 voluntary groups, clubs and societies,
• an A-Z guide to local council services, job vacancies, 'What's On' information
• other information about Cambridge

The five free access points in public places give members of the public the opportunity to use the information available within the Web pages as well as the other resources of the Internet.

The public access points are at:

• Cambridge Central Library, Lion Yard
  
• City Housing Office (City Homes South), 89 Cherry Hinton Road
  
• Citizen's Advice Bureau, 72/74 Newmarket Road
  
• Citizen's Advice Bureau, Addenbrooke's Hospital concourse
  
• Arbury Court Library
• a sixth terminal is available at Cambridge Council for Voluntary Services for use by voluntary groups.
