         The panel requests nominations for noteworthy government information resources in all formats by any Federal, state, local, foreign or international agency produced in 2018 and 2019.  Selected resources will be featured in an annotated bibliography published in the May 2020 issue of Library Journal. 

         Please submit your  recommendation through the nomination 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.     

         Please submit your nomination by January 10, 2020.
