The Resource Center, formerly the National Service Resource Center (NSRC), is the major technical assistance provider for AmeriCorps program and contains a wealth of assets.  A wide range of online resources are freely available and relevant to the full spectrum of nonprofits, and do not require a log-in and password.  Print resources can be borrowed, lending-library style by National Service members and project managers (materials are shipped to the member’s site.)  The site is searchable by topic, and has a Frequently Searched Topics page, including a link to Program Management: Technology resources.

Among the technology program management links are numerous Digital Divide resources, including news stories, best practices, and useful links to:

• Funding and Grant Management
• Low-cost Hardware and Software
• Partnerships
• Online Training and Curricula
• Volunteer Management
• Measuring Your Impact
• Needs Assessment
• Research
• Listservs

The Center publishes two eNewsletters with extensive archives. The Resource Connection, v4 #3 covers "Technology in National Service Programs"; the January 2004 eNews focuses on “Closing the Digital Divide.”
