Identified Issues• For help with a variety of common problems,
more people turn to the Internet than consult experts or family
• Most Americans (70%) expect to be able to get info or services from a government agency website
• Reliance on a commercial search engine misses “a lot” of government information
![Page 6: Six State Virtual Government Information Conference August 11-13 and 16-17, 2010 Making Documents Accessible Deb Van Tassel, University of Colorado Janet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e1b5503460f94b09538/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
More Issues

Transitioning from Gi21
• In addition to training during grant period– Depository Librarians continued talking about the project
and headway made during grant period• Fall 2008 Federal Depository Conference• Librarians used and referred patrons to subject modules
– First project coordinator volunteered time from Fall 2008 through early this year to update pages and investigate involv more states in this project
– Arizona took on responsibility to keep site up-to-date• Checking every link• Content will be updated and additional information added
![Page 16: Six State Virtual Government Information Conference August 11-13 and 16-17, 2010 Making Documents Accessible Deb Van Tassel, University of Colorado Janet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e1b5503460f94b09538/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Difficulties in creating sustainable project
• No champion emerged within 5 states as we were coping with the economy and our own libraries
• Services of a grant writer no longer available to identify and write another grant -- librarians completing training commitments of first grant
![Page 17: Six State Virtual Government Information Conference August 11-13 and 16-17, 2010 Making Documents Accessible Deb Van Tassel, University of Colorado Janet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e1b5503460f94b09538/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Others still refer to project
• ALA Open Forum for all Divisions in Summer 2009 – e-government information is important for all librarians to know
• OCLC WebJunction’s newsletter, Crossroads - February 2010 issue featured the Government Information in the 21st Century site
![Page 18: Six State Virtual Government Information Conference August 11-13 and 16-17, 2010 Making Documents Accessible Deb Van Tassel, University of Colorado Janet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e1b5503460f94b09538/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CROSSROADS NewsletterFebruary 2010
Patrons Seek E-Government Resources More than Ever
“Public libraries are relied upon to provide access to e-government resources, and to help patrons find and use the information there. With such high demand, how do library staff keep current with federal, state, and local government agency websites? For starters, check out Government Information in the 21st Century which provides guidance and hundreds of links to federal e-government resources. We'll be adding more content throughout the month, so stay tuned. And if you have resources to share, please let us know.”

About the Libguide Format• Recent library objective was to update our formerly
print research guides • Saw Libguides demonstrated at American Library
Association conference• It’s a very user-friendly way for novices to
incorporate Web 2.0 tools, update content• We already had Government Documents web pages,
migrated them to Libguide format• Ann Ewbank, Arizona State University-West campus,
came to Yuma for Libguide training & shared ASU’s “Best Practices”
