- Utah's iPad User's Manual for State Employees
- By Adam Stone. Government Technology, March 26, 2012. "Thad Levar's iPad has become a lifeline. As deputy director of the Utah Department of Commerce, Levar relies on his device to keep him plugged into the office during long stretches of utter tedium. A legislative budget hearing, for instance, can run as long as four hours, while Levar’s turn to speak may fill just 30 minutes. That’s a lot of down time during which Levar must monitor events back at the office and elsewhere. 'I need to keep track of other legislative activity that is happening while I am there, things like new bills, new amendments to legislation, new budget documents,' he said. Levar isn’t alone in turning to the iPad for support. A growing number of Utah government workers rely on the device, with the support of a proactive IT department. In fact, Utah’s tech team took an early lead, producing a user’s manual for state employees in August 2010. The document has become a go-to guide for iPad users in the state and was updated in February..."

- Utah.gov Puts Search Front and Center
- By Matt Williams. Government Technology, June 2, 2011. "You can't miss the search field on the newly redesigned Utah.gov. After all, the bar dominates most of the homepage, superimposed on a high-res panoramic photograph of a desert landscape. Why? The answer is rooted in four years' worth of online analytics, which told state technology officials and Utah's vendor partner that search was by the most utilized feature by website visitors, used more than two times as often as anything else..."

- by Helen Fu. Citizen Media Law Project, Posted July 7, 2010. "Earlier this spring, Public Engines, Inc. sued ReportSee, Inc. in federal district court in Utah. Both companies maintain websites that publish local crime statistics and information gathered from law enforcement agencies.

The complaint alleges breach of contract because scraping violates the terms of service of the website and hot news misappropriation, among other claims..."
