Libraries to Put Public Documents on Web
A group of Orange County libraries has received a $59,400 federal grant to make local government forms, ordinances, regulations, job listings, environmental impact reports and other public documents available on the World Wide Web.
The group includes the Orange County Law Library, the county system and libraries at UC Irvine, Newport Beach and Santa Ana.
The libraries will work with Orange County agencies and cities to design a plan for making high-demand documents available through the Local Online Government Information Center.
The public will be consulted through a series of open forums next spring. The online service is expected to be operating by 1999.
The grant was made by the California State Library under the provisions of the federal Library Services and Technology Act.
