E-Government Policy http://www.pascolibraries.org/files/policies/egovernmentservicepolicy.pdf
Legal Issues (Florida) • Provide verbal and written disclaimers (especially as part of Internet user agreement – click through on all library computers) • Refrain from helping users fill out forms that require co-signatures (e.g. Florida family court forms that require signatures by person who helps user fill out form - that comes with a requirement to keep the forms for six years) • Do not select forms for users - okay to help them use an index of forms, but selection is up to user (per Florida Bar Association unauthorized practice of law) • Refrain from typing in personal information, particularly social security numbers and passwords Report submitted to Florida State Library by Mary Minow www.librarylaw.com
