    If any of these apply to you and you’ll be attending ALA Midwinter in Dallas, please consider signing up for the GODORT Buddy program! Participants will be assigned a GODORT “buddy” who is an active member in the Government Documents Round Table to answer questions about GODORT and give you a personal introduction to our community.

    Your GODORT Buddy will meet you at the GODORT Happy Hour on Friday evening, January 20 (5:30pm-7:00pm, at the w xyz bar in the lobby of the Aloft Hotel, http://www.aloftdallasdowntown.com/), introduce you to other members and provide you with an information packet of GODORT information and goodies.
