an old IDRC resource and listed it as the first item (the IDRC,
International
Development Research Council, referred
to is defunct). The
page has a broken link. IDRC contributed much to the writing of the mission
statement for The Network. Also, some of that
influence spilled over into the writing of the online resource
paper,
An
Introduction to the Enterprise Development Process. Site
selection is a sub-process of enterprise
development. For example, one site selection
best practice is to organize selection
criteria, i.e. for a site

Markle Foundation:
In June 2001 Markle released information about a
study on governing the Internet. Research behind the study found
that 45% of people surveyed identified the Internet as a library. This
prompted The Network to turn to public
libraries online as resource
providers in cases where local
development representatives were unavailable. Libraries
of colleges and universities as well as in many places have
proven to be excellent sources of location
information and economic
development data.
