Volume 35 of EJISDC contains 9 papers and one book review.

In the first paper, Driss Kettani (Al Akhawayn University, Morocco), Bernard Moulin (Universite Laval, Canada), Michael Gurstein (CCIRDT, Canada) and Asmae El Mahdi (Al Akhawayn University, Morocco) describe how they are working towards building a sustainable pilot E-Government system for the ancient city of Fez in Morocco. In particular, they focus on the interplay of governance and e-government, and illustrate how 'outcome analysis' helps to achieve good governance in e-government.

In the second paper, Heejin Lee (Yonsei University, South Korea), Seungkwon Jang (Sungkonghoe University, South Korea), Kyungmin Ko (Cheju National University, South Korea) and Richard Heeks (University of Manchester, UK), analyse the growth patterns and impact of South Korea's ICT for Development aid programme.

In the third paper, a research essay, Ziyaad Lunat (London School of Economics, UK) takes a freedom-centred view of development to question the conditions that enable civil society in developing countries to use the Internet to create virtual public spheres, making specific reference to the context of Tanzania.

In the fourth paper, Abdulmajid H Mohamed (International Islamic University, Malaysia), Rana Ahmed S Abuzaid (University of Malaya, Malaysia) and Rafa Mohamed Benladen (Al Bayan Girls School, Saudia Arabia) consider the opportunities and challanges associated with knowledge management and e-learning in a Saudi Arabian girls' school.

In the fifth paper, Maitrayee Mukerji (Institute of Rural Management - Anand, India) documents the emergence of and develops a typology for telecentres in rural India, with a focus on their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.

In the sixth paper, Farid Shirazi (Ryerson University, Canada) considers the contributions of ICT to freedom and democracy in ten Middle Eastern countries, analysing archival data from 1995-2003. Shirazi suggests both that the digital divide has narrowed and that democracy and freedom have been effectively promoted in the region.

In the seventh paper, Abdulrahman A Mirza (King Saud University, Saudi Arabia) explores the use of IT to support gender-segregated education in Saudi Arabia. He discusses both the design of such gender-segregated educational systems and reports on a survey of student attitudes towards the environment.

In the eighth paper, Behire Esra Cayhan (Akdeniz University, Turkey) compares the current state of e-government readiness in Turkey with that of the EU member states, identifying areas that need improvement as Turkey engages with the EU in accession talks.

In the final paper, Reed Nelson (Southern Illinois University, USA) and Eduardo Vasconcelos (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) explore strategy and IT usage in the Brazilian real estate sector, using a grounded theory approach to challenge traditional models of strategic thinking.

Finally, Robert Davison reviews John Ure's "Telecommunications Development in Asia".
