“In the coming year, we’ll also work to rebuild people’s faith in the institution of government. Because you deserve to know exactly how and where your tax dollars are being spent, you’ll be able to go to a website and get that information for the very first time in history... I ask Congress to do what the White House has already done — put that information online.”PRESIDENT OBAMA,State of the Union, 01/25/2011

o We have had over 16,000 views to our Registration Agents map.
o We have received direct feedback from our customers on how useful the maps are.
o We have also received emails from vendors wanting us to add their information to our maps.Website: http://www.oregon.gov/OSMB/Pages/access/access.aspx
Lessons LearnedBefore you begin: Consistency matters!
o Make sure that all of your information is the way you want it to appear (example: same capitalizations, no abbreviations, spelling.) It is easier to fix it before you import it then after it is uploaded.
Set your data as private to start. o This is a great way to make sure you have everything exactly right
before the world can see. Use it!
o This is such an easy way to make your information available in such a variety of ways.
