    Hello GODORT!
    The recording for the most recent Help! I'm an Accidental Government Information Librarian webinar is now available on our YouTube channel - Help! I'm an Accidental Government Information Librarian Webinars.  Being my last Help! Webinar, I want to thank everyone in GODORT and PPIRS who have helped this series keep going. In particular, thanks to Lynda Kellam for starting the series in the first place, Kelly Wilson and Samantha Hager for their tech support, and Julia Ezzo for helping me keep the webinar going this year.
