    Hello friends of GODORT,

    For our midwinter meetings, we will once again be doing things virtually, conducting our meetings over zoom in advance of ALA LibLearnX. We have a libguide with all the details here godort.libguides.com/midwinter2024, but I would also encourage everyone to try attending at least one committee, interest group or task force meeting that you haven't attended before. There's a lot of interesting work going on through GODORT and you might find yourself inspired to join in. 

    All meetings are open to all interested parties, you don't have to be a member of GODORT or even a member of ALA to attend, though we would encourage you to get involved if you aren't. There's strength in numbers, and as we work together, we have the opportunity to do more together.  So join us the week of January 8th through 12th for our midwinter meetings. 

    Cheers,

    Ben Aldred, Chair
