Desciption of the Research Project Summary The Web Use Project is a look at how Americans use the Web in their everyday lives. Project details The project is based on interviews with a random sample of people from Mercer County in New Jersey. Internet users are randomly recruited from each geographic area to participate in the study. Information is collected on people's Web use patterns and details on their location (work, home, library, community center) and the extent and scope of their Internet use (e.g. amount of time spent online daily/weekly, amount of time spent emailing, browsing the Web, chatting) in addition to some other factors. Participants take part in an online scavenger hunt looking for various types of information. The goal is to gain a more in-depth understanding of how Americans are incorporating the Internet into their everyday lives. All information collected is kept completely confidential. The data are used in aggregate without any identifying information about individual participants. Questions?
