Is information inequality caused by a lack of things, such as library buildings, books, computers, and electricity? Or is it caused by a disconnect between what librarians offer and what people need (or think they need)? Such questions are implicit in this collective work, which includes contributions by librarians and academics who have brought information service to underserved people on five continents.
