Library Involvement in State Government Information Policy Development in the United States.
Weaver, Barbara F.
This paper focuses on efforts by library groups and individuals to influence the development of state government information policy in various states in the United States, and emphasizes the need for librarians to make sure they either initiate such development or insert themselves into any existing policy development processes. Emphasis is given to accessibility for all, including those with disabilities that may prevent them from reading conventional print. Included at the end of the paper are links to websites that may be of interest to those involved in such policy development and a copy of a policy statement concerning government information locator services.
