Heck of an idea: the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau ("a non-partisan agency serving the Wisconsin Legislature since 1901") publishes Tap the Power, an online bibliography on major issues. Each issue bibliography is compiled and posted by an LRB staffer. Tap the Power also includes an apparently annual "Favorite Books" feature, listing books recommended by legislators and staff.

Google Partners with States on Gov2.0
Google press release, "Google and Four US States Improve Public Access to Government Websites," April 30, 2007
- Lots of govt info on databases not accessible to search engine crawlers, thus harder to find
- state tech managers working to increase amount of govt info available to Google searches
- Sitemap Protocol is key
- produces list of all pages on website
- automatically sends list to search engines
- see case study on Arizona and press info
- Arizona: less than 50 tech staff hours >> implementation on eight major databases, "made hundreds of thousands of public records and other pages 'crawlable'"
- Started with CA, AZ, UT, and VA
- added MI, FL
