E-Gov: Make It Work @ your library (American Libraries/ORS Webcast)
Originally aired December 10, 2010
How do you bridge the gap?
* 53% of libraries report that staff do not have the necessary skills to meet patron e-government needs.

Attend and learn how to
* Use new e-government resources and data to help patrons
* Develop and market e-government partnerships
