This article discusses the increase in patron use of library internet access for e-government needs. It asserts that libraries face ongoing challenges as the E-government Act of 2002 includes public libraries as part of its initiative but offers nothing in compensation for the increase in librarian responsibilities. As library resources are stretched, a call for new policy is suggested. INSET: STUDY APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY.
