| Abstract | Information technology (IT) management training provided by Master of Public Policy or Administration (MPA) programs has evolved generally from software applications embedded in traditional public policy or management courses to dedicated courses on IT management or policy. However, the degree to which individual MPA programs have evolved varies. Literature in this field has focused on providing status reports on IT education in MPA programs and making curricular recommendations. Building on the foundation, this study tries to explain MPA programs' variation in IT management education by using institutional and resource characteristics of these programs. Data collected from 183 MPA programs in the U.S. show that program ranking and accreditation status appear to be significantly correlated to whether a MPA program has a concentration on IT management. This study will have implications for countries or localities that strive to improve public service by providing cutting-edge IT management training to future public managers. It will also help inform policy makers who would like to provide effective incentives to motivate programs to better IT management training. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
