*Introduction*
Cybercafes, which are places where Internet access is provided for a fee,
provide the opportunity for people without access to the Internet, or who
are traveling, to access web mail and instant messages, read newspapers and
explore other resources of the Net. Due to the important role Internet cafes
play in facilitating access to information, there is a need for their
systems to have well-installed software in order to ensure smooth service
delivery. A good understanding of security measures and software
requirements is a sine qua non for efficient management of cybercafes.

dire need for an edited collection of articles in this area. The intent of
the book is to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and current empirical
research findings in the area. The book will be aimed toward professionals,
scholars, researchers and teachers of information technology who want to
improve their knowledge and understanding of security management and
software requirements of cybercafes, both in industrialized and developing
countries.

*The Target Audience*
The audience of the book will consist of professionals, scholars and
researchers working in the field of information science, education,
technology and management, as well as related disciplines. The text is also
intended for all library and information sciences users. The book will
