1. Chapter 1: How the Public Uses Networked Community Information
    1. Enabling aspects of community information, p. 4 and 5
      1. Comparing (similar to verifying but may come earlier in the cognitive process)
      2. Connecting (how to find people with related interests, etc)
      3. Describing (services offered, cost, eligibility, etc)
      4. Directing (information about where something is located or how to get somewhere)
      5. Explaining (in-depth, content-oriented information that explains how something works)
      6. Problem solving (information that will help bridge a gap or solve a problem)
      7. Promoting (want others to know about them, e.g., that they're available for employment, that they've started a new club, etc)
      8. Relating (information that is relevant to the individual's needs and construct)
      9. Trusting (information that the individual feels comes from a trustred source. This is similar to high-quality-something that people said they wanted)
      10. Verifying (a form of corporate intelligence, people want to keep up with what their competition is doing, be aware of new trends, etc)
