What is JOIN-N?
The Jefferson Online INformation Network
is a volunteer community information network (CIN) to be used by the citizens
of Jefferson County to:
-
share local community information generated within the county
-
access other communities throughout the world
-
enhance communication within Jefferson County.
Whether at home or a public access site, local citizens will be able to
find the information that is important to them and to expand their horizons
out to the Internet.
JOIN-N is not just a web site. JOIN-N is:
-
about helping our citizens find local information
-
helping everyone, whether in or outside Jefferson County, find out what
our communities have to offer.
