Please join GODORT of Ohio on Monday 12/12 at 10A for a panel discussion on the current state of government information with three depository coordinators from FDLP Library of the Year winning institutions. Our panel, Government Information: Moving Forward, will run from 10A-11A. There is no cost to attend.
Government Information: Moving Forward
Whether or not you consider the pandemic to be over, we can all agree that COVID-19 has changed library and depository operations. As we move toward the "new normal," our panelists will discuss their libraries, advice on creating successful programming and patron engagement, and how their institutions are responding to patrons' changing government information needs.
