The session is available here. Speakers included White House Director of Digital Strategy, Macon Phillips; Federal Chief Information Officer, Vivek Kundra; and Director of the General Services Administration?s Center for Excellence in Digital Government, Sheila Campbell. Here is my summary of the event:**** ** ** **? **This chat, the posting of federal websites on Data.gov, and the White House?s upcoming dialogues are part of President Obama's Campaign to Cut Wastewhich comes out of the President?s Executive Order 13571, "Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service? and Executive Order 13576, "Delivering an Efficient, Effective, and Accountable Government .?**** ** ** **? **On USA.gov, there is more information about a key part of this initiative, which is to eliminate and consolidate duplicative or unnecessary websites to save taxpayer dollars and better serve the public. More information can be found at http://www.usa.gov/WebReform.shtml**** ** ** **? **Campbell announced that the General Services Administration had just posted a list of all (top level) federal websites on Data.gov. **** ** ** **? **The White House is planning a National Web dialogue within next 30 days, where they will invite public feedback on this initiative. This dialogue will be similar to the Open Government Dialogue. Campbell said they are currently working on the questions for it. (NOTE: It is important that law librarians are involved in the dialogue on the standards for eliminating websites, as well as to raise concerns about preservation and public access. We will let you know how you can be involved as soon as well learn more. ?EF)**** **? **Campbell and Kundra reported that the purpose of this initiative is to make it easier for American people to access government services. The White House is looking at other countries and states, such as the United Kingdom and California, that have undertaken similar initiatives. **** ** ** **? **Question from the audience: What happens to sites that get consolidated? Phillips said that the effort is about making it easier to find government information. For example, sites that already exist could be made part of a larger site where people are already going.**** ** ** **? **Another important question came from Daniel Shuman at the Sunlight Foundation about how the White House will address preservation and records management. Kundra answered that the .gov Task Force ? which will make recommendations for updating .gov policy and best practices - will be looking at that to make sure no records are lost. In addition, NARA has guidance on preserving records (NOTE: It is the agency?s responsibly to ensure it is preserving its records. Cannot rely on NARA to ensure that no records are lost. -EF)**** ** ** **? **Campbell explained that agencies will be asked to complete an inventory of their .gov domains in the next couple of weeks. The inventory must be completed by end of October, and agencies must publicly explain what they?re doing with their websites as this initiative moves forward. **** ** ** **? **The Task Force will also be looking at 2004 web policies and best practices. They want to hear from students, teachers, and LIBRARIANS. * *** ** ** **? **Kundra also encouraged people to download the data on federal websites and help map the websites (e.g. to show how many websites address a particular this topic). **** ** ** **? **The main goal of the initiative, Kundra said, is to improve the online customer experience.**** ** ** ** ** ** ** Emily Feldman Advocacy Communications Assistant**** American Association of Law Libraries**** 25 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Suite 500**** Washington, D.C. 20001**** 202-942-4233**** Fax: 202-737-0480 efeldman at aall.org**** http://www.aallnet.org/aallwash**** 104th Annual Meeting / Philadelphia, PA / July 23-26, 2011 **** [image: cid:image001.jpg at 01CB565F.F203D390]**** ** ** ** ** ** ** --To unsubscribe from 'aall-advoc'--->unsubscribe -- Janet Lindenmuth Reference/Electronic Services Librarian Widener Law School -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But I think it would be a hoot if we could get pictures of our running law librarians, in town for the annual meeting, as they pump their fists in the manner of Rocky, either on the Art Museum steps or at the Rocky Statue, after a jog up the Parkway. If there is a bold individual out there who would like to do so, shoot me an email. I will make sure you have a Starbucks gift card to cover the caffeinated beverage of your choice. All the best! John Cannan Research and Instructional Services Librarian Earle Mack School of Law at Drexel University PS The run is not an AALL event but a group of running law librarians getting together to have a good time. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
