What about publications pertaining to government information?
Or do you have a research idea that needs some funding?
Consider applying or nominating an individual for a GODORT award! The GODORT award committee presents six awards annually. If you would like to find out more about each award, please visit: https://www.ala.org/rt/godort/about-awards .
