A plurality of computerized information kiosk stations are linked via the communications links and the server to the database. Each of the kiosk stations have a satellite memory in which selected information files from the database are stored. The kiosk stations are capable of displaying any of the information files from the database which are stored in the satellite memory. The server includes an information provider interface through which any one of the multiplicity of information providers can, upon entering a security access code, enter and change information in the information files in the database which originated from said information provider identified by the security access code thereby creating a changed information file.
