Building from the initial list in the report, Civic Technology: Open Data and Citizen Volunteers as a Resource for North Carolina Local Governments, I will provide periodic updates.

The following documents, organizations, and news and communication sites have been selected with three criteria in mind:

• They provide resources for local government officials as they explore the field and identify applications or information most relevant to their public involvement and program efficiency interests.
• They promote ongoing communication channels among civic tech advocates, users, and skeptics.
• They provide either a general overview of concepts and activities or more detailed information on implementation programs and strategies.
