what are the importance of community-based information centers?

Question

examples of such centers; where & how these are managed; advantages/disadvantages; impacts/benefits derived by people from such centers

Answer 1

It makes a central point of informaiton sharing, such as a bulletin board at a apartment complex where people can post notes and trade items with each other.

They tend to be biased to the people who use them and ignored by the people who don't use them, so the community is usually misrepresented by a handful of antisocial misfits who love to manage centers.
