CTG Receives Federal Grant to Explore the Role of Public Libraries in Open Government
State and local governments across the U.S. are investing in new ways to open their governments by using technology to engage citizens and increase transparency and accountability. Such efforts have placed increased pressure on public libraries as citizens turn to those libraries for both access to and assistance in their interactions with government. CTG will bring together thought leaders from academia, government, and private and non-profit organizations to explore the ways public libraries can help governments achieve their open government agendas. The project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through a 2013 Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program (LB21) grant.

Government Information Sharing: A Planning Toolkit
Government enterprises face many performance challenges that can be addressed more successfully through better information-sharing initiatives. Regardless of the size and complexity of these initiatives, they are all made less challenging when participating organizations have a joint action plan that outlines what information sharing is necessary to be successful and what investments in capability must be made to close the gaps between capability required and capability available. Decisions to invest in information-sharing initiatives must be grounded in such an action plan.
This toolkit is designed for government professionals tasked with planning and implementing initiatives that rely on effective information-sharing. It provides a process for assessing where capabilities for information-sharing exist and where they must be developed to achieve targeted goals. Assessment results provide a basis for action planning to fill capability gaps.
