Goals of the BEV

The Blacksburg Electronic Village is an outreach effort of Virginia Tech, in partnership with the Town of Blacksburg. The BEV is based entirely on the Internet. More extensive information and papers about the BEV, including its history, can be found at the BEV Digital Library, which has many downloadable documents. The goals of the project are to:

• Continue to foster the virtual community that has been created to complement and enhance the physical community


• Further refine the model for creating electronic communities in other towns


• Investigate the factors that make community networks self-supporting and responsive to user needs


• Provide support and assistance to other communities that are trying to develop healthy community networks.
