As a Masters student in Information Management at the University<br />
> of Washington, I am currently writing my thesis on the evolving public<br />
> library mandate to act as a portal for eGovernment services. My work is<br />
> partially based on the finding in the US Impact<br />
> Survey<http://cis.washington.edu/usimpact/documents/OPP4ALL_FinalReport.pdf>that<br />
> consumption of local news is an important metric in eGovernment and<br />
> civic engagement in U.S. libraries (the Knight Digital Media Center has<br />
> posted<br />
> commentary<http://www.knightdigitalmediacenter.org/leadership_blog/comments/20100402_new_report_examines_public_librarys_growing_role_as_online_civic_h<br />
> />about<br />
> this finding). The consumption of local news ^S and the future of local<br />
> citizen journalism in public libraries ^S is one factor I am using to shape<br />
> my thesis research related to successful eGovernment programs in libraries.<br />
><br />
><br />
> I have also been involved in a program evaluation for the Knight Foundation<br />
> related to grant making in public<br />
> libraries<http://www.knightfoundation.org/initiatives/library.dot>,<br />
> and have studied issues around boundaries between engagement and<br />
> partisanship* *(regarding the matter of private grant making to publicly<br />
> supported institutions), as well as envisioning libraries as public-access<br />
> media centers (through programs to retrofit portions of library buildings as<br />
> spaces to inspire collaboration).<br />
><br />
><br />
> Finally, I believe that libraries offer rich information ecologies to foster<br />
> and preserve free digital information commons through the following<br />
> practices: (1) utilizing their spaces to promote collaboration and<br />
> partnerships among community organizations, which will strengthen the<br />
> digital information commons; (2) promoting digital literacy, most crucially<br />
> the five key<br />

> according to Howard Rheingold; and (3) revisiting the allocation of library<br />
> resources (digital, human, and otherwise) to address the changing mandate of<br />
> libraries as places where an informed citizenry can be nurtured.<br />
