• Kid's Web: A World Wide Web digital library for schoolchildren. One of the problems with using the Web is that downloading information can be very slow, since currently the Information Superhighway more closely resembles a dirt road. One of our goals is to use Web caching technology to store the documents on Kid's Web on a centralized server at NPAC. This will allow the information on Kid's Web to be accessed much more rapidly by students in these schools.
