SEATTLE, WA, May 23, 2009 Dear Colleague, On behalf of the Digital Government Society of North America I am making available to members and non-members version 5.0 (May 2009) of the E-Government Master Library in EndNote TM (Version X2) XML format or a Package Version in ZIP format. An alphabetically sorted (by first author names) PDF printout of all references is also included in the downloadable ZIP file. The library currently contains 3,090 references of predominantly English language, peer-reviewed work. The library has been cleaned, and some 300 references were removed, since they did not meet the inclusion criteria or were undetected duplicates. The library now contains 3,090 entries, a net increase of 21.79 % over version 3.2 (July 2008). We continued detecting older work, which has been added. Also, 345 entries (11.16 %) published in 2008 were included. In future versions of this library we hope to be able to also provide a BibTex and a Zotero version of the reference library. Any help regarding information on effective EndNote to BibTex and EndNote to Zotero (www.zotero.org) converters is highly welcome. In order to download the library, please register yourself and accept the GPL license agreement. I am providing the reference lib in EndNote XML or as a zipped Package Lib, so that they can be imported by various EndNote versions. For the XML version, please use the EndNote IMPORT function (select EndNote XML document). Thank you! Finally, please check your own publications for inclusion and correctness--thanks! Feedback and corrections highly appreciated.
