 ALA welcomes Open Government
Plans<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ala/dd/~3/3yRfvZ7RJGg/>

By Jenni Terry on Open Government

  U.S. departments and agencies today released their Open Government
Plans<http://www.whitehouse.gov/open/around>in accordance to President
Obama’s Open
Government Directive <http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=4106> issued
on December 8, 2009.

In his directive, the President stated that “Each agency shall develop and
publish on its Open Government Webpage an Open Government Plan that will
describe how it will improve transparency and integrate public participation
and collaboration into its activities.”

The ALA is excited the open government plans have been released, and we look
forward to seeing how they are implemented in the agencies.  The ALA will be
participating with www.openthegovernment.org in evaluating each open
government plan, so look for more information about that soon. Click

more about this initiative on the White House.
