    Hello Everyone-

         GODORT's Notable Documents Panel was established with the goals of promoting the value of government documents in our communities, and of recognizing the individuals and agencies involved in their creation.

         The panel requests your nominations for noteworthy government publications produced in 2017 or 2018 by any Federal, state, local, foreign or international agency.  Selected nominations will be featured in the May 15, 2019 issue of the Library Journal.

         Please submit your recommendations through the form at this link:

     
         By nominating a government publication you can help the panel raise awareness about the immense value of government information, promote utilization of government documents collections and support the wider mission of GODORT.

    Thank you,
    Bryan Fuller
    Notable Documents Panel Chair
