AbstractThe current plethora of technologies has been driving the state and citizen relations as well as ways of connecting with the crowd. Not only implementation of governance but the safety aspects of citizens are also being supported by technologies. The paper has been an effort to understand the current status of contributions of Geospatial Technologies and Geographic Information System (GIS) towards various components and levels of services, and e-Governance aspects at global level. The literature has been reviewed to catch a glimpse of the multifaceted technologies and their invading attributes in different areas of the world. The role of library and information services (LIS) has been woven along with these technologies, services and creating awareness among public.
