Online E-Government Resources
|
 |
In addition to all the usual issues of local governance, you are now expected to know about using information technology. Computers, LANs, e-mail, and specialized software for every department were bad enough. Now, you have to learn about e-government--Internet access, Web sites, online services, and e-commerce.
Do you have a department to manage your information technology and e-government issues? Didn't think so.
This page is designed for municipal employees who have responsibility for e-government and want a shortcut to finding more information and resources. The descriptions come from the organization's Web site so you might find them self-serving.
