In the Net: a guide for activists The Internet has changed the way that people around the world communicate with each other, but many organisations have yet to take advantage of the possibilities the internet offers for advocacy work and networking. This book is a guide to some of the issues that this raises; if you want practical guides to action, then you can also visit An Introduction to Activism on the Internet (from Backspace) at http://www.backspace.com/action/all.php, or The Virtual Activist 2.0 (from NetAction) at http://netaction.org/training/.

Wired for Good: Strategic Technology Planning for Nonprofits Although this book was written for the American NGO market, it still contains a lot of useful information on taking a strategic approach to introducing and managing technology in your organisation. If you’re already fairly comfortable with technology, or working for a larger organisation, you might also want to visit the Techsoup website at http://www.techsoup.org/ for news, discussions and how-tos.
