Outfitting and incorporating: The social effects of computer technology in the restructuring of the Illinois CES

"Because of long-term reductions in Federal funding and changing rural demographics, the Illinois Cooperative Extension Service (CES) began a process of restructuring its field services in 1991. This involved the creation of specialized teams of ""Extension educators"" to develop educational programs for communities across the state and ""Unit leaders"" to administer county educational programming and fund raising. Restructuring also involved a large investment in an upgraded computer infrastructure to provide standardized equipment to field offices and connect them all to the Internet."
