Southernmost part, 4 years, Patagonia and Tierra del fuego
Creating free access of local audiovisual heritage
Chilean system library 2 years
Some impacts of Isolated communities
Present main characteristic, haw remote we are
Impacts in that case might be different than in Santiago for example
Famous for Magellan s strait Fernao de Magallaes 1520
Pass between the Atlantic and pacific oceans
150 of local modern history
Most extensive lower density
Appreciate the difference with US
Each red point 1 library
Bigger point 4 libraries
Capital city Punta Arenas Sandy Point
Mix between End American Continent
Extensive coastline
Vast Archipelago
Long distance between population point
Communications Take a long time
Depend on the weather conditions
Sometimes do not run
Way of life directly linked with
the communications and transport
To communicate you with the other part of the region, country
Read the news paper, 1 week late
Boat or plane only possibility to bring food, equipment, regular medical visit, cultural activity
Even more in the capital region, the good development depends so much on the communications
Remote area have taken passive role in the regional development
Except during the tourist season
Cost to the people to feel part of the regional debate and decision
Installing IT we think that the first impact would be
A new way of social relations
A Revolution for Puerto Eden, in the picture
300 inh. 10 ultimate represents from kawasqar ethnic group
With only Email plan local needs, activities, projecto, control arrival of products and new equipment
Participate in debate, decision with region
Active participation with tourism and cultural sector
Develop remote medical comunications
Using Libraries to host the TIC
Change expectation of the local population regarding the libraries
The regional and national professional relations affected by the communications difficulties
Will switch more efficiently and active their participation
To the mission of the institution and
Provide for the same reason a better integration of the IT grant
Finally highlight 2 more impacts
First
Generate their own local content
Means provide to all the community their own heritage and vision of their history
You can see with the picture Old photography of a rural library in Patagonia in 1920
Second
Organize local and remote management of education and professional resources
With a large bandwidth we ensure transmission of most of resources available in Internet
All the impacts that we plan
Are focusing on the same aspect
Provide the isolated communities the tool to be
The protagonists of their own destiny
As an active member of the regional and national
Development process
