E-Government Study

The E–Government study demonstrates that public libraries are an integral part of E–Government delivery in Florida as service providers. Moreover, for many Floridians who do not have access to computers or the Internet, the public library is the only place to engage in the democratic process and open government. Indeed, the majority of survey respondents report they do not own computers, and they use the Internet at the library because they do not have to pay for the service. State and federal E–Government information resources are the most frequently used and the majority of participants search for government forms.
