摘要: Although the term" electronic government" is relatively new, its practice and associated literature are not. Broadly defined for the purposes of this bibliography, e-government is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by government. For more than a decade, e-government has been discussed in terms of possibilities and shortcomings. The growing body of literature on the subject is reflective of its growing practice. This collection of articles, papers, and books numbers over 150, with the majority appearing in the last five years. As technology continually advances, the opportunities and practices of e-government will also continue to grow. This bibliography is inclusive of related topics, as well as terms that are often used interchangeably with e-government: digital democracy, digital government, cyberdemocracy, etc. Also included are related topics such as the digital divide (access to ICTs), an issue important to governments seeking to advance their practices of e-government.This collection is far from complete as some relevant articles or papers may have been inadvertently left out. Moreover, it should be expected that this list will double within the next few years. The bibliography will continually be updated and can be found at the E-Governance Institute Web site (www. andromeda. rutgers. edu/egovinst/).
