We're Looking for Stories Federal workers are doing amazing things to deliver
government services electronically. But often, agencies deliver
similar services using similar but separate information databases,
developed over many years. Federal agencies have begun to consolidate
this information infrastructure to improve service delivery and
cut costs.
Access America E-Gov E-Zine wants stories about how federal agencies
are integrating the infrastructure pieces to provide "one-stop"
electronic access to government services. We're also looking for
stories about integrating telecommunications networks within the
federal government.
These stories can be short, as in a "byte" of about 150 words,
or they can be longer feature stories. Write feature stories in
plain language with quotes from customers who experience the service
electronically and quotes from federal employees and their partners
who deliver the service.
Include a contact person with phone number and email address.
Send your stories to pat.wood@npr.gov
or pat.smith@gsa.gov. If
you need more information, call Pat Wood, National Partnership for
Reinventing Government, (202) 694-0063. Please pass this request
along to others who may be interested.

One
year ago we reported that the General Services Administration has
put hundreds of commonly used federal forms on a one-stop web site.
These GSA forms, Standard Forms, and Optional Forms can be viewed,
filled in, printed, e-mailed or faxed directly from the Internet.
Here's the report one year later--and it's good. 
Everyone
knows the U.S. Census Bureau counts how many people we have. But
do you know that 69 other federal agencies collect and analyze statistics
on everything from agricultural output to banking data to the top
20 hazardous substances to on time flight records, to weekly earnings?
What federal statistics do you need today? It's on this one-stop
site. PS: Arsenic is the number one hazardous substance.
The
National Science Foundation provided over $3.7 billion in 1998 for
crucial research projects. Community of Science invites you to search
its free NSF Grants database. It lets you quickly find which projects
are being funded in areas of science and engineering that matter
to you. It's updated every week.
