Folks,

Your help is needed by the GODORT Notable Document Panel in not only
publicizing but also acknowledging outstanding government information
through the annual article in Library Journal.

Just take a few minutes between now and December 31, 2004 to nominate
publications from any level of government---state and local, federal,
international, intergovernmental organization, foreign government or
material published on behalf of a governmental agency by a commercial
publisher---for an award.  Please only consider materials published in
2002 and 2003 but these can be in any format---websites, CD-'s, books,
maps, audio-visuals, or microfiche.  Agencies and publishers are
encouraged to nominate their best titles.

The nomination form is available at:
<http://www.library.ucsb.edu/forms/godort-form.html>

A short history of the program is available at:
<http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/GODORT/notdoc.html>

Each year the panel selects approximately 30 notable documents from the
list of nominations.  These are then featured in the May 15, 2004 issue
of Library Journal.  Our purpose is to publicize government documents to
the broader library community, to honor the agencies and staff
responsible for these wonderful documents or web sites, to create a
selection tool available to all types of libraries, and to publicize the
work of GODORT.  The production and distribution of government
information widely and in a timely manner remains of critical importance
to us all.

Please contact the Panel Chair, Linda Johnson, if you need additional
information or have questions.  Thank you in advance for your
participation in this important effort.
