This paper offers a preliminary list of the main IT policies that are available to the public through the Internet. The second objective is to present a theoretical framework to understand the importance of IT policies and standards to government organizations. This paper compares what theory has established about IT policy with the practices of the various states. In general terms, there seems to be some degree of consistency among the states regarding which IT issues to take into account for policy and standard development.

While they started out reasonably, the hearings quickly descended into paranoia, conspiracy theory, and merciless badgering of witnesses by the senator and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn. The closed hearings served as dress rehearsals for televised public hearings, and also gave Senator McCarthy an opportunity to release selected information to manipulate his media coverage. They conclude with the Army-McCarthy hearings that ultimately led to the senator's censure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of government information : an international review of policy, issues and resources","volume":"30 4","pages":"Pages 463-469"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jgi.2004.09.005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91735363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores major current statistical sources in China through examining (a) the statistical system in Chinese government, (b) the mechanism of statistical data collection, and (c) what statistical information is currently available in both print and electronic format and at what level. It shows that a wealth of statistical information does exist in China, it is systematically compiled, and it is available, although not conveniently, to the public through various channels. This study can serve the need for China's data from the academic and business communities, contribute to a better understanding of China's statistical system, and serve as a collection tool for academic, public, and corporation libraries as well.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of government information : an international review of policy, issues and resources","volume":"30 1","pages":"Pages 87-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jgi.2004.07.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54471217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
