About the Prairienet Community Network

Prairienet, founded in 1993, is a member- and donation-supported community information network for Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding East-Central Illinois region, offered as a community service by the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Prairienet's mission is to:

  • Strengthen community organizations by helping them provide and retrieve networked information.
  • Empower individuals by providing access to networked information and by teaching the skills necessary to access and use this information.
  • Facilitate information and resource sharing in support of community development efforts.
  • Promote equity of access to computer resources for everyone in the community.
