After a yearlong process of research and development, CTG introduced e-Gov FirstStop, a knowledge-sharing partnership. Located at www.ctg.albany.edu/egovfirststop, e-Gov FirstStop includes a carefully selected collection of e-government materials including executive-level briefings, research and best practices reports, case studies, and Web sites. All resources included in e-Gov FirstStop are reviewed and selected by e-government practitioners and scholars.

e-Gov FirstStop was created in response to government managers who expressed frustration by the need to sort through vast amounts of information to find useful, high-quality, timely material. They requested a resource that classifies and evaluates e-government resources and presents them in an organized, intuitive, and usable way. New material is continuously nominated, reviewed, and added to the site, making it a "living" resource for e-government research.
