FINAL CALL for 2024 Notable Documents Nominations

  • 1.  FINAL CALL for 2024 Notable Documents Nominations

    Good morning, folks,

    This is the final call to submit nominations for the ALA GODORT notable documents series.

    Every year, the ALA Government Documents Round Table asks our community to nominate and highlight important and notable documents published by international, federal, state, and local governments during the previous year. The Notable Documents panel reviews and judges the nominated documents, and the top-ranked documents are highlighted in Library Journal (example from last year). It is an excellent way to show librarians outside our field that government publications are interesting, exciting, and important!

    We are currently accepting nominations for Notable Government Documents of 2024. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, 5/16.
    The submission form is online here: https://www.ala.org/rt/godort/godortnotabledocumentnominationform

    Please reach out to Jennifer Castle (jennifer.castle@vanderbilt.edu) with any questions.
