Accounts of its novelty are reviewed. Its distinctiveness as a site linking the `real' and the `virtual' is theorized in terms of social networks and Foucault's concept of heterotopia. The growth and nature of cybercaf\u00e9s in the UK are investigated using data from a number of surveys. The detailed practices of a sample of cybercaf\u00e9s are examined using data from on-site interviews and observations. It is shown that the properties of a heterotopia are expressed in cybercaf\u00e9s, but to differing degrees explained by contrasting types of boundary-spanning practice. It argued that this analysis has implications for the future management and facilitation of e-access in cybercaf\u00e9s.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14614448030053002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,9,22]],"date-time":"2003-09-22T20:50:45Z","timestamp":1064263845000},"page":"313-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Shaping e-Access in the Cybercaf\u00e9: Networks, Boundaries and Heterotopian Innovation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Sonia","family":"Liff","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Warwick Business School, Warwick University,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fred","family":"Steward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Research in Enterprise, Sustainability and Ethics (BRESE), School of Business and Management, Brunel University,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5465\/amr.1977.4409044"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"`The Internet caf\u00e9 - a Public Sphere within a Public Sphere'","author":"Betz\u00e9n, J.","year":"1997"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"`\u00a3400m to Bridge the Gap Between the Computer Haves and Have Nots'","author":"Blunkett, D.","year":"1999"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"2","volume":"21","author":"Brockes, E.","year":"1999","journal-title":"Guardian"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"`Chancellor of Exchequer's Budget Statement, 9 March 1999'","author":"Brown, G.","year":"1999"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"The Social Life of Information","author":"Brown, J.S.","year":"2002"},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"`Cybercaf\u00e9 Basics'","author":"Bulder, B.","year":"1997"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"e-commerce @ its Best","author":"Cabinet Office Performance and Innovation Unit","year":"1999"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"The Rise of the Network Society.
