Candidates for Depository Library Council

  • 1.  Candidates for Depository Library Council

    Posted Nov 05, 2015 03:31 PM

    Howdy all,


     The Depository Library Council to the Public Printer is an important advisory and communication body which works closely with both GPO and the depository community to ensure that U.S. government information is freely available to the American public.  Each year five people are appointed to DLC and ALA generally nominates a slate of candidates.  DLC is one of the most visible and vital opportunities available to  government information librarians to affect change and to improve the public’s access to and use of the resources of the federal government.


     The official call for nominations has not been issued by GPO yet for this year, but it’s not too early to consider this.  If you are an ALA member and are interested in putting your name forward or in more information please contact Laura Sare (lsare@tamu.edu).  We would like to have nominations by 11/20 for priority consideration. 


     Laura, on behalf of the GODORT Nominating Committee
